Are you the only administrator on your forum?

Or do you allow for more than one administrator users?

Do you let multiple people with admin status being able to control all aspects of the forum’s admin panel?

Do you think it’s too risky to allow other admins?

Spark Promotion has one paid admin. PopFuse has one voluntary admin.

I have nearly 3000 members, and I’m the only staff member overall. It’s easy to handle since people mainly come for the forum resources and leave.

I would only give administration access to someone I trust dearly.

Nice. 3K members and you’re the only staff member!

I have a Facebook Group with over 60,000 members. We have to have a few moderators on it. There are 6 of us total.

I think forums are different. You have more ownership.

I feel that most forums can work with just the one administrator.

Anymore, extra moderators are typically just staff members who come and post more. Less moderation, more keeping new topic and posts active.

I’ve had other admins on various other sites that I’ve owned/been admin at.

JustGFX had myself, Mini Maul and Jasper

GFXStreet was myself and Guy.

I typically prefer to admin solo with various staff roles nowadays because I generally want full control of the theme, widgets, etc.
