    Enough :)

    Used to run 18 community years ago. I had a nice job that left me with a lot of time on my hands. Then I lost it and started freelancing and this meant almost no more time for myself and my communities. Had to close some, sold few and also re-organized them. Not a nice feeling, but money had to be earned and advertising revenue wasn't paying my bills :D

    I have closed 2 forums in the past due to health issues. I couldn't maintain them anymore and could not find a worthy admin for it.

    Quite a few that is why I don't make forums anymore.

    I have closed two forums, one because I didn't have the time for it anymore and it would be pointless to keep it open and the other because it was spammed to death with spambots after the Admin team decided to take it upon themselves to just leave the forum in a lurch (I had Admin powers) so I closed the forum to the public and now the forum is just, gone. Thus why I attributed it to myself. :p

    I myself have closed 2 in the past. The first one I closed was due to problems I was having from other forum owners, they where not happy about the fact I had decided to set up my own forum whilst being a member on theirs. The second one I closed was in around the beginning of 2008, it had been running for nearly 2 years and was doing well but due to other commitments away from the computer and internet I ended up having to close it.

    i closed 2

    my first one i closed it due to no traffic at all and secondly to get some money from it like 20$ it was enough for me because i did not succeed./

    I still haven't closed any. I feel that I shouldn't close it since it would affect my self-esteem. Yeah, I know it's weird but that's the way it is.
