Nabble only keep backups for a few weeks, not months and certainly not over a year. It is highly likely that your forum was deleted many months ago and you missed the relevant warning emails. Unfortunately many mail services will treat them as spam.

Anyone who visits a Nabble forum during the 30 day grace period can click the "Don't delete this forum" button. If they've got there before you, you will not see instructions. Only they get the "Success" message.





Bear in mind that Nabble are hosting your forum as a favour. They charge you nothing. There are no adverts that appear on your forum through which Nabble derives payment. You cannot expect a high level of service from such an organisation, even if it appears to you to be just a few moments work.  If it is easy to do then I suspect that Israel would probably already have done the check and failed to find your forum As you can't provide the Nabble address of the forum it seems reasonable to me for Nabble to leave you to do what you can to recover it.

In short it is very much up to you to frequently visit and maintain your forum. It's why, since before it was announced that Nabble would be downsized, I have been recommending that anyone with a forum worth keeping move it away from the platform. While Nabble has been maintaining a service it is no longer one for mission critical or important data.
