Do you ever feel like giving up?

Definitely feel like giving up now. Looked into moving to another host but that host wasn't as good as it seemed. Broken add ons, simple things missing, a lot of faffing about to edit forum backside.
Think I might just give up on foruming in general. To old, ill and depressed to deal with it.

What about those of us on free forum plans? No money loss. Just time and energy wasted.
But you're selling it now?
Something I have learned is that administration in anything should be a long term commitment.
I think about 6 years is a pretty long time to waste one's energies on something and end up failing miserably. Every other site I've admined where there's been other staff I've always been the last one to try and make things work. It just sucks the fun out of running forums after a while.
several times, but I kept trudging through it and now my site is nearly 13 years old with a decent core activity.
I used to be on your site years ago and it seemed pretty active. Can't remember what it was called then though.
I actually forgot about GL and then popped on it, realized I had forgotten my password and had to do a recovery.
Slowly - the TT one is still a bit dead apart from a few posts in member only forums. I haven't made any more progress with the mybb one yet as been sleeping to much to go on the laptop. Meant to go on it yesterday but staying up till 4 in the morning the night before playing videogames with friends meant I ended up sleeping most of the day.
ooohhhhh I gave up on a forum I had all right. I deleted it and have never owned a forum since. I felt like I bit off more than I could chew. It took up a lot of time that I didn't have. So yeah....I don't regret it. It was a learning experience.
How long did you have it for? sounds like not long at all lol
2014. I think I had it for 3 months.
No. I just don't have that kind of time.
Honestly I'd rather admin or mod for someone else. I was an admin on a forum that was sold and then deleted in 2016. If I'm administrating for another owner, then they're mainly the one doing the financing and all the promoting and advertising. I just police their forum and hang out with the members. That's what I mostly did after I deleted my forum. I went at it from a different approach. My little dream was just to be on staff and do tasks. I really liked that experience.
