Do You Run a Forum

[Nomad]

I have been posting on forums since 2013. However, I did not create my own forum until 2017. Currently, I own two forums, one sports forum and another mental health forum. I also manage forums for a lot of clients. Do you run a forum, what kind of forum do you run, is it on open source platform or uses premium software?

No, he he. I do not run a forum site. I lack skills in that. I only like to post on a forum site that I like. A forum site requires maintenance, which I can't do because of my work.

No, I don't own a forum sites because of lack of knowledge. Also, I don't have much time to work on it.

Yes, I run a forum focused on technology and innovation. It uses an open-source platform because it’s flexible and easy to customize. Managing the community is rewarding, and I enjoy helping members share knowledge and solve problems together

I don’t run a forum, I post on a few forums

@Nomad . Happy to know of your journey from a forum poster to forum owner. Best of luck for your future endeavors. You are definitely too busy with all at your hand.
I don't own a forum and I have no intention of it in future either. I am a part of about half a dozen forums. I wish that they get stronger. I plan to have forum posting as maim engagement in my post retirement years.

I was basically a blogger, but when I was looking for additional income opportunities, I found forums. I started posting on forums and at one time I was posting on as many as 20 forums and making as many as 200 posts every day. When I started my forum, my main intention was to earn revenue just like from my blogs. However, these days I am mainly looking forward to grow my community.

That's an interesting journey. And no doubt it's a lot of time and effort that goes there. 200 posts in a day is impressive. I am not sure that even when I take it up as a full time job, I will be able to reach that kind of number. Growing a community is the right goal..with a vibrant, active and valuable contributors, your forum will have better prospects to grow and generate more revenues? I know that online job is your primary source of income. I am just curious to know if it has been profitable enough for you to sustain a living??
