Article Dealing with Founder Burnout without Letting Your Forum Die

The mistake some forum owners make is think that running a forum is a one man job. It's never so because the size of a forum and the kind of activities it gets determines how big the team behind running it should be. It's when an owner try to do everything by himself that burnout sets in very quickly.

I'm doing this solo but, in all honesty, I'm ready to add a moderator to AAF. But I'll need to find one who is interested!

Maybe, just maybe I'll fill that role for you likely by next year. I would want to promise anything this holiday season we are about heading into.
 
Yes, I go through burnouts too. I take 2-3 days to refresh..
My forum is not a hobby, it has a purpose, so my burnouts don't last and I get back on.
I rather a small forum, easy to manage and one gets better connections with the users.
 
It would have been better if I took the advice here when I went through a burnout.

Unfortunately I did take my forum as a hobby and couldn't handle it's growth. I immediately went to an exit plan like you mentioned where another staff member eventually took over.
