I Lost LS Leader Status

Anyone know how to fix this? I made this linkshell a long time ago and was keeping it for nostalgic value, but now I'm thinking of erasing it. I was startled to find that not only have I lost leader status, but NOBODY in the shell is leader. It can't be deleted, only the 1 officer can kick people, and I'm worried that it's stuck this way. Please help!

I don't know when this first occurred because I haven't paid attention to this particular shell for a long time. I tried logging out and in several times, and in different areas, but nothing has fixed it. A friend who has a pearl said that they couldn't see anyone with leader status either.

It is stuck this way. I went around and around with GMs and SE support on the very same issue. Without a leader, the LS is considered "dead", and SE can't do anything with it. All you can do is make a new shell.

Thank you very much for posting your concerns about your linkshell having no leader. In order to best assist you with this issue we will be needing some additional information. While some of this information may seem irrelevant, it is best to have as much information as possible in these cases. Once this is filled out we will submit this for review for you.

Steps:
1. Months ago I created the Linkshell.
2. Shortly thereafter I distributed a few linkpearls.
3. One of the Linkpearls was promoted to officer.
4. The Linkshell has not had any new members in months, but it has been used for chat a few times.

I hope I can get this resolved. If nothing else, I hope the Linkshell can be revived after 2.0. The name has a lot of sentimental value.

By the way, the Linkshell name is Pirate Syndicate. There is also a linkshell named PirateSyndicate (no space) but it, too, is unused. I just don't want the name to be taken if I or one of my friends chooses to recreate the shell. It's been my home since 2004.
