Having two admins is the best thing to do on any kind of forum. You always need a second voice.



what do you think?
 
I've been on forums (like this one) with 2 admins. But personally, I like a forum with 3 admins. That way, if there is something that both admins feel strongly about, there will be a tie breaking vote.
 
2 is fine, but you have to trust them completely, since they could f*** up your forum if they wanted to.
 
More than one is good, more opinions...but then more disputes. Too many would be out of hand. So two/three is a good number.

Yeah but how we work, one of us will cave to make the other person happy. Lol.

It doesn't matter how many you got (max 5 id say lol if your a huge site) as long as you cant trust them thats the main thing.

Yea. It doesn't matter if you have 2 or 200. The most important thing is that you trust each one of them 100%.
 
Well, I would say it depends on what kind of forum you're running. I mean, if it's just a general chat forum (as is mine and this one) then two is plenty, but if it's a huge advertising forum (Like FA was) then more than two would definetly be needed. Again, it all depends on the kind of forum that's being run.

LOL. Very true. You and I never seem to have many disagreements.
 
2 at least just incase something happens to one admin, you;ll always have a back up person incase your site really need an 2nd admin to come in action to make some changes or something
 
I only have myself on my board as the board I own has almost nothing that needs doing in the acp outside of the rare name change, name color request or the occasional new skin we might get. I don't really foresee there ever being a second admin as I don't see the need for it.
 
I have a Co-Admin who is extremely trustworthy though unless CC gets huge, no need for a 3rd admin in my opinion.
 
I have three but my forum has 2000+ posts. Although, my third admin hardly posts even though he got promoted yesterday.

But, on a normal forum two is enough. You can get the other admin to help out instead of you having to do all the work.
