So lets say you made a forum, and then you want to delete it. 

How?

If no one has commented on it, just hover of the upper right like you were going to quote and you should have the option to delete: it's an X

 

If people have replied, that will just delete the first post and the second poster will inherit the topic.

Yeah..that's kinda annoying. Let's say someone posts smth against the tos of chess.com, and I come to tell them that, they immediately delete the comment and I get the topic.

It didn't used to be that way a  few years ago. That said, unless the topic title is against the TOS, if they delete their post, it shouldn't be a huge issue.

guyss... my forum is outta control

You can get control by blocking people, which will prevent them from posting any more replies in any of the forum threads you've created. Otherwise, that's the way things go - although derailing a thread off onto a tangent is technically against the Terms of Service, the mods would really only intervene if it's a serious topic that really needs to stay on track, and even then we do so by talking to the people in the thread about it before doing anything more drastic.
