"Admin" or "Owner"?

[The Governor]

As the forum owner, do you like to have the "Owner" title, or do you prefer to keep the "Administrator" title?

I prefer Owner, and personally think all forum owners should have that title. It distinguishes them from the Admins, and makes it easier for people to know who does own the forum.

i think Founder is also not bed choice.

I have no choice here. However the "#1" as user's number should be enough to know who's the original owner of that forum.

In my opinion, the word Owner sounds cold and arrogant. Yes, the Owner might pay the bills but the forum is truly 'owned' by the dedicated members, no?

Exactly. A forum CAN have more than just one admin, but one of them is the original founder.

I prefer Forum Management myself.

I never minded one way or the other what my title was as owner/founder of any one forum. Although one has said correctly that when you think of "owner", you think of the negative stuff like, "Do as I say, not as I do" kind of thing, so that does sound kind of cold.

I don't really care one way or the other, Admin works fine, and Founder isn't bad either. I can see how Owner might sound a little cold. It makes it feel like a company instead of a community for discussion.

I'm the owner / founder here but I have no reason to advertise that fact. I'm an admin so that's what my rank says.

I think having 'owner' associated with your name would just mean that everybody with their panties in a wad over something trivial would nag you half to death about it.
