How many forums do you own?

No offence to anyone who owns more than one, but I have never understood the point in owning two or more forums as a root owner. As if it isn't hard enough to maintain and commit yourself to one board, why would you want to have your time divided in maintaining two boards ? It's against all odds imo. But for those who own two or more, explain please. :p
You might have two completely different points of interest thus owning two different boards.

Honestly, I agree with you 100%, I can't even fathom trying to run another board. I did try once and it was hectic as hell. I say I am property of the forum I co-run because it just feels weird working on other things. lol But that doesn't mean that I am against other people having more than one forum.

In my case I was younger and had more energy and time, so I ran a couple of forums and helped run a lot more. It was fun for me!
 
It wasn't perfect, but we were better off without Facebook thats for sure.
I meant in the golden age of forums, it was a wonderful time.
By the way, I was an administrator (founder) of a community that shared content through direct downloads. At the time of phpBB2
I got to have more than 5000 daily active users. It was crazy, it was perfect! 🤪🤣

I never seen a forum with this many members.

users i mean registered members + guests. Of course it's possible ;)
I remember my forum was hosted on SiteGround; (by the way, is good hosting provider.) Near this day, those statistics are almost impossible... because of social media.
 
Back to one again, and probably gonna hope it does better since it's on XenForo. All thanks to @Cedric

Good luck with it!

One but I host 3 currently. 2 of which haven't properly launched.

When are you going to launch the other 2?

2 in the past but not at the same time however that was a long time ago.

I remember one of them, I was a member :D

I've managed to get my list down to 3 now :cool:

One of them is getting the most attention. The other one could be the same too if I market it more. The third one is an iffy but really depends on the weather :LOL:

Depends on the weather?
 
At the moment I currently own one forum that I am in the process of getting ready to open up and I am also a co-owner of another forum as well. Throughout my years of owning forums, I have owned at least 4 before this one and the longest-running one was the last one that I had from 2009 - 2017 when I had to close it due to the hosting price increasing above my budget.
