You want to talk power trip, he even set all his forum access to allow himself access to all forums, even though being admin automatically covered that, he wanted to assure he would be able to view all forums even if he lost his power. (either that, or he set them all to yes so he didn't have to upgrade?)"

Popularity? I honestly don't know where you're getting that from, but he wanted to be administrator in the first place because he liked the forums and disliked seeing them going sliding into ruin.
Also, where did you get the crazy idea that he was admin? He only got some beefed up super moderator powers, that was it. He used them to organize the moderators and created a forum where we could debate whether or not to do this or to do that.
And there could be a reason why administrators are the least liked people in the game. Think for a moment. I'm not hinting anything at all, just think.

Whatever the reason, Alkaren has changed for the worst. He ever so often messages me on aim and tells me that I'm doing a ridiculous job with the forums because I don't follow in his footsteps and allow the players to run wild so that I'm liked by more people. After he lost his power, he just snapped and now he apparently hates me.

You have to understand, Alkaren is a lot like me. I love these forums, he loves these forums, and he quite honestly doesn't like the way the forums are starting to be run.
The players never "ran wild" as you say. The players never DID run wild, no matter what you may think they may have did. The only idiots we've had here in the past two years have been TwiZtiD Juggalo, and Jack, who have both been permabanned.

He was simply giving unixmad suggestions for the game, if there's any harm in that. If you want the full story, you'll have to ask him yourself.

Uhh, isn't that exactly the same thing that konidias did?
Or at the very least, it's in the same mindest. Torankusu didn't like Alkaren and argued about it, so Alkaren removed Torankusu. Torankusu didn't like the way the whole sig deal was being handled and argued about it, so Konidias removed Torankusu.
