I have a really big problem; I don't exactly know where to put this

Hi,

I was registered on a forum that had two Admin's. I became friends with both of them and advised them to switch to InvisionFree. They did but they didn't know how to set up the forum, so I helped them with all the features. Because of that, they decided to make me the admin.

Everything was going really well, until I discovered that the two other Admin's HATE each other. I saw what the problem was. One of the Admins that I am friends with is 27 and is very helpful. He's great with reporting news and etc. The other Admin (who only came up with the idea) is a younger kid, who spams left and right, and can flame now and then. When I've tried to discuss the matter with him, he did not see it as a problem.

Things got out of hand between the two of them one day, and now my 27 yr old friend wants to demote the other Admin and leave it as just the two of us. I am still friends with the younger kid, but he is causing quite a lot of problems. I am at a loss here.

bickering between Admins could cause alot of problems since Admins have access to alot of things.
Is your 27 yr old friend the Root Admin (no. 1)?

Also How "young" is this younger kid. Let me Just say if hes younger then 13 its not good that he is a admin, Because of COPA and the Aliance of Invisionfree to it could be a problam.

No, unfortunately the younger kid is the ROOT Admin. He is 19, and jumped into the whole thing through his idea. But that's all he had, was an idea. The rest of the work is being done by my friend and I. The 19 year old is a nice kid but he strongly believes that he can cop an attitude with everyone and if they don't like it they should just leave. Which is a horrible way of thinking as an admin, but that's the way he is.

Well, if the 19 year old is the true root admin, meaning member #1 in the members list, you couldn't demote him if you wanted to.
If he's not member #1, but just in the root admin group, you could.
Though if he's as immature as you make him out to be, he's likely to come back with member or guest accounts and spam or otherwise try to ruin the forum.
If you can't make him understand that he's causing problems, my advice would be for you and the more mature admin to start a new forum of your own, unless you want to try banning the 19 year old and maybe dealing with some crap from him, though he'd probably get bored fairly quickly anyway. :/
