Question More than one Admin?
Hi I was just wondering if it is a good desicion to ever have another admin on a forum? Also can they do everything you can do? For example could they change your password if they wanted to or even delete your account? One of my friends wants to be an admin on my forum but I'm not so sure it's a good desicion to have more than one, just in case they do something I don't agree with.

Can this be done on PHPBB2? (the uneditable user setting) Does it need a mod installed?

I have another admin, more for my security than anything... as he helps me if i stuff something up big time LOL He actually normally doesn't even log on.

I also have a 2nd account that is mine as admin as well, in case i lock out my normal account or something dumb like that.

It depends on the size and activity of the forum. As for their permissions, you can control what functions they can perform and what they can't (depending on the forum software). You also have to trust the person who you want to make an administrator. If you trust your friend, and you feel that he/she will do a good job, then I see no reason as to why you shouldn't make him/her one.

I don't believe phpBB2 offers this setting. It may be available as a modification, but I'm not sure.

No idea. With vBulletin, you have to edit the config.php file to change it.
