Is there a head adminstrator? - Honey Saucer Gengar - 07-02-2018
Is there an admin superior to the others? I thought there was. Just wanted to confirm

Why do you ask?

I thought there was an admin superior to the others but less powerful than TD.

I love TD, he's an awesome fellow, but realistically he hasn't had any "power" here for years and years. Founder status is just recognition of what he created, not a label of administrative power.

Not really - we don't have a formal staff hierarchy.
Thunder Dragon is MFGG's creator, but for the past decade-plus he's rarely exercised staff powers, aside from approving a queued submission every blue moon. We always get his blessing before making a major change, though.
Retreiver II isn't an admin on the forums, but since he's the one hosting everything on the server, he has some extra power. (He's not the only person with a backup of the boards, though, so he's not an absolete ruler.) I'll always consult with him before doing anything that might have a significant effect on server space or bandwidth, for example.
While TD is in the Founder member group on the current forums, I'm technically considered the founder of the MyBB forums, since I'm the one who first installed them. From MyBB's perspective, anyone marked as a founder can't be demoted. This isn't a problem on MFGG, fortunately, but it can be useful if you're worried that another admin might go rogue and demote the person who created the board. If I ever step down from being a forum admin, I can give this status to another admin.
