What's your least favorite part of owning a forum?

I'd say my least favorite part of running a forum is probably when the members argue. How about you?

Re: What's your least favorite part of owning a forum?

paying the bills and stressing if the site goes down would have to be the downfall for me. Everything else is pretty good, and you guys don't really seem to argue to much

The bills, technical issues, keeping members happy, having to enforce the rules and trying to add fresh content daily.

My least favorite thing about running a forum is the lack of time there is in a 24 hour period to work on it!

The bills are probably my next least favorite though

Re: What's your least favorite part of owning a forum?

I don't worry about the bills for the site because of my ads. It's guaranteed that I get money each month and as long as I make enough to cover my costs, I am happy lol

I would however have to say that my least favorite part of owning a site is the constant *****ing and complaining. I have learned that I can't please everyone, so I just do my best.

Re: What's your least favorite part of owning a forum?

i think everyone would agree that attempting to keep everyone happy if #1 or right up there. i pay my hosting yearly but it seems, with 3 domains, licenses, etc. i am always getting renewal emails.
