So other than the update, all I want to do is add Tapatalk once the db guy adds support in the config for modules.

So I take it the hosting is under the former owners name as well, since he's passed I would check for FTP access - you can then run a backup of the sites files and database via something like MySQLDumper or similar. If you don't find a way to backup, once the hosting contract expires and/or the domain expires you'll be sitting with no forum to visit so please be sure to find a way to copy the site so at least another forum with years worth of posts isn't canned per say.
