Promote someone else to admin. Just as you would with promoting someone to a moderator, promote them to Admin.

I think he means the founder. When you try to delete your forum, I think it says in an email you can give it to someone else.

I've created and deleted a forum myself. I never received the option to pass it off to someone else. So as far as I can tell, the only way to make someone else part of root admin, is by promoting them to the root admin group. Which can lead to complications if the guy you promote goes AWOL and locks you out.
