How many forums do you own/run?

I have three (the third one is getting setup as we speak). 🙂

I use vBulletin for one, XenForo, and this new one will be on phpBB.

Just one and only single forum and that's enough, always active on others. I do not have the funds to run more anyway. IPB times 5 that's allot each year 😛

At the moment I own three, head admin three and admin one. I also provide ad hoc technical support to a few more.

I have another music related forum I've been working on for years. Some while ago I reserved a yet to be released domain for it. If I get it I'll go live, if not I'll probably sell the database.
 
Yeah, running more than one is hard. I am learning towards scaling back to just one forum. That way I can focus on marketing, growing, and creating valuable content.
 
I only have 1, hard enough to keep one active and working let alone 2,3,4 or 5!

I think it depends on the forum. Most of mine or the forums I'm involved with need very little intervention in terms of moderation and none have required any major updates for quite a while so apart from some basic housekeeping and a reasonable degree of socializing it's not been too much of a strain to keep things ticking over.

I currently own 0 forums, but I do have 1 splash page, 1 games website and 1 gaming blog.

I own two, one of which I use as a support forum. I'm happy to use it that way but it hasn't really flourished into a community that I'd like it to, so I stopped treating it that way.

The other is a local forum that isn't yet fully developed that I treat as a side project with the goal of building a closer community.

It is easy to build many forums but unless you build them in very different niches the similarities you start to see can't really be unseen.
 
I've had 2 in the past and it is hard keeping up especially working full time, so just the one for me now.
 
I have 4, but I am most likely cutting it down to 3.

I started an admin forum mainly to test out newly updated software. It didn't get that active. There is no loss, though. The domain name is used for a blog I am writing for forums, and the software was a free platform.

Three forums are easier to manage 🙂 I have quite a few blogs, too, and I freelance write as well 😛
 
Currently, I am running two forums. I have recently registered a domain in a hope to create another forum.
 
I'm scaling back a bit as well, mainly my general forum which wasn't doing so well anyway; so I can concentrate on my film forum and my main Transformers one.
 
I have just the one forum and that's enough for me. Trying to juggle my forum and my blog is enough work for me to handle so I won't be having any other forums.
 
I'm only currently running one right now. I did at one time try to run around three, but it just didn't work out. I'm also a mod on a subreddit, so I just wouldn't have the time to focus on more than one community.
 
I am currently only managing (owning) 1, a URL shortener service for it, and the backend of the website as well (VPS).
 
Despite being retired due to health reasons, I'm really only running one forum at the moment.
