So far with my forum, I have invested money into a domain name (for three years now) plus monthly hosting and related expenses. I don't really think the forum has even come close to paying for itself, though it was and is a labor of love. My blogs on the other hand are hosted on Blogger and I've easily earned enough Adsense from these sites to justify the small time invested. So far, I have not actually put any money into my blogs, though I considered buying a domain name for one of the blogs. So for me, a blog has been cheaper to run and monetize. In your experience, would you consider a blog or forum more economical or cheaper to run?
Blog vs Forum: Which is cheaper to operate?

Cheaper?
A blog.
A forum will usually have more people connected and doing actions whether posting new topics, replying, searching, shoutbox, changing profiles and so on. (burning up hosting resources)
A blog is quite simple... read, comment, search....at your own pace 🙂

Blog is much more cheaper to operate. Starting from advertising to earning money through blogs, they just do not need much to be done. Whereas forum requires a lot of things to keep up for gaining visitors and making them join the community.
