How many forums do you own?

[Ravenfreak]

I'm curious to see how many forums everyone here owns. I know there's a few of us that own multiple ones, I'm not alone on that! I currently own 3 forums and I'm working on another one. I think there are people who can handle multiple forums at once, but not everyone can. I know there's people who own around 6 or 7 different forums! Can you handle having more than two forums or is just one the perfect number for you?

I only one one forum on the Jcink forum software. It is a coding resource board related to helping those in need with the Jcink software. I tried creating a Yu-Gi-Oh board at two different points and had it online, but I took it offline both times because it didn't gain any new members and it was a very hard niche to promote.

i only own one

Currently I only own the one. I took a break from forums for a few years and recently launched my forum upon my return. I don’t plan on going anywhere this time though and I would like to run more forums in the future.

 

[CodyCFS]

None, but I have owned a few forums in the past.

 

[tea4me]

Just one, but I have had two at the same time in the past.

 

[Bluezone777]

I don't have one now but I used to back in the day.

I own two presently; gaming and sports niches.

 

[Creaky]

Only haven1 active one, might bring another one back online though.

I have a few that are currently closed, one that I've debated on a few times with opening and closing it, working on a new project I purchased a few years back.

I own 2 forums - one big successful board and one fledgling startup.

I also have a Facebook group and then am on the Staff for a few others.

 

[tea4me]

Oh geez, I didn't even think to mention the Facebook groups. I own one, admin on two and moderate one.

 

[Ravenfreak]

Oh yeah I forgot about my Facebook group, I have a Facebook group for the Youtuber called This Is Dan Bell. He's even in the group too, I actually made him a moderator. I tried seeing if I could make a forum alongside the group to eventually convert to a forum, but it just didn't work out.

I have 2, OT & FA.

FA (this one) is new. OT I've been running since 2009 (with a 6 year break in the middle).

 

[Sinistra]

I currently run one, I am looking to get a new one started as soon as I get the software for it.

 

[charming primrose]

I currently own none but staff multiple. It'll probably be this way for a long while 🤣

I own one and manage on in partnership with @Ravenfreak (we manage each other's forums )

Here's an interesting consideration. If your forum is hosted on a free host, do you really 'own' it? Or does the free forum host own it?

That entirely depends if you can export your database with no costs attached.

Well, most cloud based forums "say" your data is yours. Now if that's true or not is the case.
