    In progress How to take over an existing forum?

    Post by Flicktitty September 6th 2011, 7:17 am

    Hi everyone. I was a mod on a forumotion forum. and it has since become very slow due to me not actually having mod power.

    So i have been talking to the person who started the site about giving me the power to run the site. is there anyway to do that?

    thanks

    Hello,

    Do you mean moderation power or?

    If you mean to make you the founder he can do that only by providing you by his account details, username and pass.

    Other than that? If the moderator are dead? How we can take over from him?

    Do you have the founders email address or a way to contact him/her?

    If you give the URL of the forum there might be a way to track down the founder Smile

    Mr Sanket,

    My forum has no longer founder or any person link to him. Now the forum are so out of control and need to have new founder or admin. Nobody there are know how to do now. Maybe that forum will be closed by our goverment because newcomer there are hack the forum by saying dirty pics and words to our head of goverment. But some of the members there are so loving that forum like I am.

    I hope we can do somethings to save that forum and clean it from the dirt newcomers.
