Honestly my only issue with two Admins is one of security, double the admins, double the risk of a board wipe. It's not about Whatever the community is most comfortable with" it's about what's the right thing to do.

Considering the amount of work Mikey has put into this board, I more than think he deserves the right to be recognized and to have the authority to continue doing what he does best.
Besides, I for one trust him NOT to randomly board wipe the place. Especialy considering he had already outright stated that he would immediatly drop this place like a sack of mouldy potatoes if a board wipe were to happen.

Honestly if you're not going to have any valid input don't have any at all.
A second admin is a security risk and that's not saying Mikey is going to wipe the board. It just means there is now TWICE the risk of someone gaining access to an account which can wipe the whole board.
So it's up to you to decide is the risk of a board wipe worth a title? Because Mikey can keep on doing what he's doing and more as a Head Moderator. Honestly if Mikey has put in the most effort and deserves to run this place then maybe it's time for a new admin.
I on the other hand think Leon has contributed plenty over the years and will continue to do so. I also think that Mikey doesn't care about a stupid title so people can pat him on the back and say good job at the risk of our security. I've said my bit.

Don't be snippy.
It's only a security risk if Mikey hands out his password. You seem to assume a wipe is going to happen. If that's the case than you don't trust Mikey or Leon in which case you can't be pleased. As for a "hacking" possibility, it is just as easy to hack the admin as any co-admin, which means any hacker looking to do so will be able to regardless. Additionally, they aren't the staff from 552 where they get pissed and wipe the board to spite people, both seem the type to wash their hands of it and just leave. In fact I believe Leon's done that before.
And just because I like being an ass right now, what do YOU actually lose? You've been here a couple of months. I've been here since the start and honestly a wipe doesn't scare me. I created my characters and played out their stories, if I choose I can do it again, but no wipe can take that from me. Frankly they both deserve the spot and deny them that because of the internet bogeyman is sad.

Now now guys. Let's keep this a civil vote. If I had it my way mikey would be admin and someone else would have his position and id just be another player.
Now since that isn't the case ima have to say calm down. Me and mikey have worked well together the last four or so years. He knows his duties and I know mine. This is a show of trust and power to give him because things need doing and deciding on when I vanish like I do.
This place has been under security threat before and bothe me and mikey have learned the mistakes of someone untrustworthy getting ahold of an admin password. I handled it and got a saved copy of the entire site from proboards admins. Even if there is a board wipe it is salvagable. With my good relations with them as well it'd be much easier than last time.
Please state opinions without so much hsotility.

Disclaimer: I know my attitude/the way i rub off on people is inherently hostile and snarky but i say the following with absolute objective honesty:
I can confidently say from knowing Mikey, not only as a co-moderator and a fellow roleplayer, but as a friend i've had the pleasure of knowing for several years now here in person, that he is likely the most trustworthy, dedicated, and loyal person this site has ever come to see in its long years, throughout prosperous times and not. If anyone were to ever hack the board or have bad intentions with it or its players, Mikey wouldn't even be the last person to do it because he wouldn't be on the list of possible suspects in the first place.
You all may not have had the privilege of being this guy's friend in 'RL' but i have, and from that firsthand experience i must insist that any accusation, hint of such, or mentioning of even the slightest possibility that Mikey can't be trusted as an admin or co-admin, has no grounds in feasible reality.
That is all.

I voted for admin as well, though my reasons as such i've already partly shared with Mikey over PM, and the rest i'll keep under the hood.
I'll say I trust mikey as an admin more than anyone on this board, including myself.
EDIT: I would like to point out as well that my non-personal reasons for the vote would be what happened in the last board deletion by a group of individuals who "stole" the password. It was at a period when Leon was "vanished", and it was very difficult to get back online
The differences between co-admin and head moderator?
He'd have access to both the admin email (in case the board is shut down) as well as use of the same authority leon has in plots, board arrangement and discipline.
Having two admins makes it much easier to keep things going.

And now we have a choice made. Co-Admin it is.
