    haha, you're on about TKK? Why not see if you can sell it? If I had money I'd probably buy it :cool:

    Ha what could I get for it. Only been open a couple of months.
    I was actually just joshing anyway. I've put alot of time into it, promoting, etc. but it's going soooooooo slowwwwwwww, lol. There are so many general chat sites out there, was probably silly to start yet another one.

    I know... "My other site is a general discussion site" hehehe, but it's a quality topic with some good laughs if you get the right mix :)

    Silly to start another one? Highly unlikely, forums are timekillers, not revenue earners, and you've spent ages killing time on it by making it popular, then it's a success in my eyes.

    It's rare when I get bored of my forum. If I'm close to getting bored though, I'll likely find something new to do with the forum and initiate that idea.

    Yes I've even closed them to use the license on a better idea. Though I always say it's the members that run forums not the owners so if you're getting bored of them it doesn't always mean the members are.

    I say to my members and moderators etc "the moment it becomes a chore log off and come back when you fancy it again - never let it become a chore and you'll not get bored of it" sort of thing.

    Though the ones I shut have either died down (largely due to me not being interested in them anymore) or I've used my time / licenses on busier / better forums.

    So keep up the interest and don't let it become a chore! :)
