i dont want to make them an admin...im worried they will kick me out and ruin the forum...is there any way someone els with administration privilages could do that to me...the founder? take over?

No, the founder can not be edited unless they are on your account.

Hello,

Only the users on the original admin group have the permissions to access the admin panel, if you will put a certain user to this group, they will get the administration powers and the color of the group so the only way is to put that mod on the admin group.
