How many forums do you own?

How many forums are you currently running? Do you find it easy to run more than one forum or a struggle? How do you balance out your forums?

I myself at the moment don't own any forums and I am just moderating on one, I have only ever owned one forum at a time though which has been enough for me

 

I only own one forum as of now, and I plan to keep it that way. I see people running two forums when they can never spend time on any of them.. its best to just stick to one. Thats why when I created AdminBB, I shutdown my old gaming forum because I just wanted to focus on one forum.

 

One, my private staffing forums.

 

Currently, I am taking a break from forum owning until I can find an easy subject for me to talk about. My old forum, iOS Gaming, I pretty much gave up on. With toucharcade around, it's like a grain of sand.

 

Well running a forum can be very stressful, and when people run more than one that is just crazy as most of the time they cant give enough time to either one. Running one forum is hard enough.

 

One right now.

I ran 2 at once in the past which is do-able but its best to focus all your attention on one forum. Its better for you and better for your members.

 

Yea its can be done, but as I said above its best to focus just on one, and give all your time to that one forum. I see people running 3 forums at once, and they dont do a very good job on either one, if they just ran one forum and didst divide up their time between 3 than that one forum would do great instead of all 3 failing.

 

I currently own one forum, but it's kind of dead... Anyways, I'm done running forums, I like being able to help without all the added pressure of being an admin.

 

Yea running a forum can be very stressful specially when its an active one.

 

Right now I just have one forum, its pretty dead but that doesnt matter because I will be getting rid of it and start a new one once I buy my new xenforo license.

 

You can try getting it's activity back up, will be much easier then starting a whole other forum from scratch.

 

Right now I run one forum and its a niche forum and doesn't require much time. I am going to see how this go in another month if its still slow I am going to open another forum.

 

It's like having multiple kids...you do what you gotta do.

 

Since you run a regional forum it can be very hard to get it on its feet. But if happens to work out for you, than thats great

 

Thanks, I hope it works out I love talking about Michigan.

 

If you love what you do, then continue to peruse it. May take longer than others but you have a passion for it so don't give up with your forum!

 

Right now I only own one community, and hopefully one day start some more(who knows though).
So for those that run multiple forums - how's your time mangement?

 

I know very few people who run two forums, but I imagine its tough not unless they have a great staff.

 

I only have one running at the moment.

 

One, but i'm a Moderator on a couple of sites.
