Owning multiple forums at one time?

[Alex]

Is it possible for a website owner to own multiple forums or websites at once? I think it depends on the person. Depending on your schedule, whether it's work or school outside of the online world will be dependant whether it's possible to dedicate enough time to owning more than one website, at one time. What do you think?

 

[Shortie]

I currently own two forums and one blog as that is more than enough for me. I can create activity on all as much as I can but adding any more sites to my list would very much put me under.

Everyone is different and it depends on how much time you have to dedicate.

People can run multitudes of forums depending on their schedule. Simply put, if they don't have the time to attend to them all, they may need to cut back and either let someone else run them or turn them offline for the time being.

I own a few different forums right now, as long as you're able to keep up with them by not only posting but adding new features when new features are needed then I think it's fine to own multiple ones at a time. It takes a dedicated person, one who can easily multi task and not get overwhelmed.

I think you can do it if you schedule time for each community and delegate as much responsibilities as you can to your staff. Forums aren't as high maintenance as blogging websites, as long as you know who to trust and you can delegate properly.

 

[Ken]

I believe so. But for me, one forum is enough.

I believe so. But for me, one forum is enough.

I'm of the same mind. I discovered that running one forum was a lot of work and I eventually caved after 6 months and decided to delete it. I have found more joy either being a member on someone else's forum or serving as a moderator. Honestly that is all I can really handle.

 

[Aaron]

I wouldn't be able to do that. This forum is enough for me. it would be too difficult to try and advertise each one.

 

[Jason]

I did that at one time, but now I'm into focusing on one forum with a lot of work, rather than less work on many forums or one forum getting more attention than the others.

 

[Stardom22]

For me l think that it's very possible to own more than two forums. It really depends on the one's time management for running the websites.

 

[ZandraJoi]

There are times it’s hard to run one forum what with being a member on a multitude & posting there. Sometimes I don’t have extra time to post on my own forum. I couldn’t imagine having to do that for several.
I personally rather post on one forum per person & take the time to support them that way.

 

[Nomad]

It is possible to run multiple forums at once, however, when you are running multiple forums it is very less like to become successful. That's becaise you will not be able to give enough time. I am saying this based on my personal experience. I run multiple forums.

 

[Mike30]

While it's possible, it's not advisable if you can't delegate the overwhelming amount of work each forum carries. I mean, for me, one is enough if is not where I want it to be.

 

[Kyng]

Yeah, it's possible, but not something I could do myself.

Back in the day, I had both a chess forum and a resource forum - but the resource forum got nowhere, since I just didn't have the time (or, in fairness, the skin/graphics skills) to make it any good.

🤔...wtf?!

Alrighty so fyi-disclaimer: this is simply an observation and I would like to share it because, (a) I'm generally curious af, and, (b) I'm hoping to ascertain whether or not y'all are doing this intentionally, or if not then, (c) I'd be in dereliction of honour if failing to at least attempt highlighting a potential-communally possessed belief-which may perhaps also consequently be manifesting equally communal blindspots.

To me, this is quite apparent, and frankly it is very common too. I see it occuring within almost every typical forum.
I would suspect it unlikely others are simply missing this, but then if my suspicion were accurate—>then it is very odd that others seem to ignore/play along.

What am I blabbering on about?

🤭Well sheet, tbh there's plenty of ways to describe it, though most tend to be perceived as variably "offensive", thus once openly stated—>💥 amygdala hijack occurs-(*aka: triggering)-thereafter rationality abruptly ceases in favour of hysterically defensive reactivity.

So again, this is NOT intended as insulting or in any negative sense whatsoever. I merely seek personal clarification while also shining a light upon something in case y'all ain't seeing it. As just like everyone else, including myself, if we are not aware of particular things then inevitably we are susceptible to any number of errors arising as a result of our ignorance thereof such things remaining entirely unaccounted for.

Like working through an equation while being unaware there is a number which is not overtly apparent, eg:

1
+
1
+
1
+
1
+

=
?


🤔Ya know, tbh I'm having second thoughts about addressing this....

...because I tire of efforting to assist others self-betterment since 99.99999% of the time I'm immediately met with hostility—>more often of the communally presented pervasive mobbing type which frustratingly persists indefinitely thanks to it's fundamentally maladaptive socially perpetuated feedback looping effect.

Instead of just straight up telling ya'z what I'm talking about, I'll try another approach...(🤔and oddly enough, in so doing, this would also serve a secondary purpose too.)

Regardless, I'll propose this angle as it may be more efficacious simply due to it being premised upon social interactivity....that is, of course, depending upon whether you would oblige participation.

Alrighty, here we go ....

•Step #1: (*Optional) Scroll back up to the top, and re-read each post.

•Step #2: (*Optional) Describe what you see—overall.

•Step #3: (*Optional) Being that you are of course a smarty pants and already know exactly what I'm yabbering about, you can therefore easily define it....which is....?


(*Hint: we are specifically seeking attentiveness to a particular-very distinct socially presented behavioural pattern.)

Most of the people who posted before you conform to a very small subset of active forum users who regularly hang out and visit in the same circle.

I don't quite understand what you were trying to ask, and would appreciate your clarification.

Absolutely mate. Quite alright.

I'll give it a few days at least before attempting to provide clarification though because I would like to afford opportunity for others too.

And hey I assure you my intention is constructive only.
🙂👍

It is absolutely possible to own multiple websites provided you have time to manage these websites or money to hire website managers and content creators. If your websites are not generating revenue, it might be financially challenging, though.

 

[Maria]

Do you have time and resources, do you have some people to assist you without asking for payment? If that is the case, you can certainly create multiple forums. Forums are not blogs that run on auto pilot, forums need users and activities.
