Before I closed my forum I was running it from 2009 - 2017 which was 8 years. I am currently in the process of working on another forum I hope to open up soon and I am hoping that forum will thrive for 8 years or more this time.
The forum I co-own, I have co-owned that place for the last 9 years from 2014 - now.
I have been running my current board since 2018. I have run a few other boards before, but I have a feeling this one might be the one to stick around the longest.
I’ve been doing them from the late 90’s, had a few successful communitys, the current one I purchased when it was a few months old, will be three years in June with a couple of breaks during that time, I’m currently building a new one focusing on the tech world, this one will also be on the XenForo platform.
