Have you ever resigned on your own forum?

Have you ever resigned on your own forum ? How did that work out? What was the reasoning behind your resignation ? I have, in which I handed over the reigns to a fellow administrator on a resource board back on ZetaBoards. Sadly at some point I lost interest in running the forum but didn't want to close it down because it still had activity and potential. Sadly a few weeks later the forum went inactive and they had to close it down.

I can't say that I have. I always went into it with the idea that if you are going to start a board that you be in it for the long haul no matter what comes to past. Boards don't tend to do well without their leader which is usually the one who created the board however there are exceptions to this but I wouldn't count on your board being one.

As the board owner, I don't believe I have ever handed down the board to someone else.

No, I have never resigned on my own forum at all. I have always stayed as owner and admin of any forum I have owned in the past right up until it either died off or I had to close it due to funding issues. THe only time I would ever resign from a forum I owned is if I lost interest in the forum and felt it would be better for me to step down and let someone else take over.

Not permanently. There was a period where I handed over the reins for a few weeks because I was feeling burnt out - but I took the time off to rejuvenate myself and came back .

I remember that. That worked out really well and you came back stronger than ever.

I more or less resigned from AAF.

I gave the forum database away. I gave it to TAZ.

In a way, I resigned from my own forum.

I have resigned from a group I paid money for on an RP chat room/site before. I was getting ready to step back and leave the community anyway, so just gave it to one of the co-admins.

I would rather sell the forum than resign to leave it in the care of another person. Most people will never take another person's project very seriously like it's their own. It's best to sell it and wash my hands off the forum completely.
