How come there are 2 admins? Isn't Peo the only admin??

How do you find the admins? The other admin could only be Chicken. But I think that if you are an admin, you don't need to be a moderator. And all of the forums have Chicken as a moderator.

See, Peo's userid is 2, so I was thinkin, who da heck could've registered before him? And the search result was... Todd. And he's no mod either.

I don't think Chicken is admin, he's only a moderator.

Right??

Maybe Todd setup the board for Peo and the setup phase requires you to make an admin (?).

Nick you are absolutely 100% correct. Peo is the main admin; he owns FreeWebspace.net, the forum software, and has the final say on all relating issues.

I just handle the back end server issues that arise for Peo. I handle the installations of things like MySQL, PHP, changes to sendmail, apache, bind, etc... I also installed vBulletin as Nick said but that really was a piece of cake due to how the software authors have it set up.

I do help him admin the forum when a larger issue arises or when he leaves for a vacation or such. That's not that often though and the main people that handle managing the forum are the other moderators and Peo himself.

I'm mainly a lurker on the board, as I have been for a few years now. :) A few people probably recognize the name from the older days on the Paid Hosting board but I'm guessing not many do.

To answer Lex's question Chicken is just a moderator right now but he is a dang good one at that. He manages the sections that seem to need the most management at times. :)

The bottom line is Peo is the main admin.
