Your own special title

[Shawn Gossman]

Do you have a special title or banner for you, the forum owner?

If so, what is it?

If not, and you have other admins, how can members distinguish between regular admins and you as being the forum owner?

The way most forum owners have that set up when they have other administrators is also having the owner's badge on his own account to show there's a difference. But there's no other administrator, I don't see any need for adding owner's badge.

I'm the only admin on my forums so I just keep that title for me and I'm sure everyone understands that I am the owner.

It's completely understandable in your situation. How many special titles do you think is too much for a community owner to have? I've seen forum's where the owner have 5 titles or more. It looks too much in my opinion.

I think a forum owner just needs one title. What all titles did that forum owner have?

I've done it in the past, but I don't see it being a necessity these days. Most users generally get the feeling who the public facing admins/owners are.

However, my admin and I do have a badge under our names that states "community leader".

That's how I am these days.

In the past, I would have rank banners made and have one with "Forum Owner" for me.

Nowadays, there is only one admin - me - so I just keep that status and use the built in banners on XenForo because they're good enough!

He had - Administration, Co-Admin, Moderator, Masters, Debator.

At one point, I was like he should also add Owner too

I use a simple descriptive one word term for my primary site - Founder.

Founder is a good term. I think I might use that
