But them having access to the Admin CP i cannot see any point in, because i (on my forums) consiter myself as a moderator, but i have the ability to make forums etc... But, is their any other point that i may of missed?

Now that I've learnt it all it's not vital that I have another one. But he helps me ensure the board runs efficiently. Although, he's not actually an Admin...just a mod who has access to the Admin CPs. But I have complete control...and he doesn't So he can't lock me or anything!

My board was a roleplaying board that needed constant change (poll/topic/character of the week, adding/changing new RP areas, promoting members once they reached a plot item to advence to a new area, etc.) ...so they truly were needed. In fact, I would have liked one more. But that was just my board, and it had special needs. Normally, one or two admins is all it takes.

Thanks -jappyx I own my forum and yes I have two admins. The reason for this is that, because moderators can only do so much that you need to have another admin.

The Wizearse From Aus Posts: 76 Group: Members Member #12,874 Joined: February 15, 2004	I have another admin who I trust 100%...He helped me get my board growing and helped to obtain hundreds of members by giving me some ideas, and we have both ventured into other areas of business together. He has every right I do on my board, and is as mature, and the same age as I.
