Forum:Inactivity Problem

The Warhammer 40k Wikia is inactive with only one recent contributor that I don't think is coming back. I want to get it off the ground but the creator (I think) has long since abandoned it. There is no community so I can't discuss it or use the Community portal. I don't want to start a new one because of the content already on there. What should I do? Is there a way I can take over it? Or can I create a new one, but copy and paste the old content? Because I can't do some things like change the logo etc. I've tried to contact the more recent contributors but there is no reply.


 * Try not to start lines with a space. :-)  Anyway, there is a way and it's called adoption.  Just start editing on the inactive wiki and after a little while, contact a member of staff who may make you into an administrator.  -- 19:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Woops...sorry! But the wiki is not totally inactive, a person comes in every year or so just happening to stumble upon it but leave because of the lack of people. Someone just recently came last week but I think has left. I also think that he might have adopted it, is there a way to check who is in control?


 * It depends on which Warhammer 40k Wikia you're talking about; the English one or the Spanish one. The founder of the English one is Dalen Dalen and the founder of the Spanish one is Kades Kades.  -- 19:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm, talking about the English one. Dalen hasn't done anything since 2005 and some of the posts on his talk page are still unreplied. He hasn't listed an email either.
