I was admin for a board back in March this year (let's call this Board A), but then I left the team. Before I left, I made two others (let's call them Tom and Jerry) admins for the board, and then left the board. To be sure, I am neither admin nor member of Board A. It disappeared from my workspace as is expected.

Many months passed and it's now July. Last week, I was tidying up my Trello boards and removed Tom from Board B. Tom was indeed removed from Board B last week, but for some reason, he was also removed from Board A. Trello sent him a message to say I had removed him from Board A.

It appears I have removed someone from a board that I am neither member nor admin of. In fact, I have no sight of the board at all.

1) Has anyone experienced this?

Now, last week, I also removed Jerry from my workspace. I wonder if he was also removed from Board A as a result! Sadly Jerry's away on holiday and we have to wait two weeks to find out :-(

2) Can a Trello board exist without members and admins? 

3) How can we regain access to Board A if all members and admins have been removed?
