How many sites is too many to run solo?

[Al]

Lots of subjects about 'how many staff is too many' but let's ask a different question: How many sites is too many?

At my peak I was running four forums and about a dozen (!) blogs. It was too much. I couldn't keep up. So I merged some stuff and felt better... and then started a new forum because I enjoy the honeymoon period!

So what’s your tipping point? At what point do you start burning out, losing quality, or just leaving projects to rot? I want to hear how many sites you’re actively managing and what your upper limit looks like before things start falling apart.

Man having to maintain a dozen blogs on top of four forums must have been a lot! It's hard keeping up with a Blog more than a Forum IMO. I have one that I haven't kept up with, can't imagine trying to keep up with 12! Anyways this number is going to vary depending on who's answering. Right now I'm doing fine managing RPG Haven, Thee Zone, and Gex Forums. Like I mentioned above, I haven't kept up with my blog so I'm thinking about either archiving it or actually working on it again I haven't decided yet. There's another forum I have that I'm working on converting to Discourse, I was going to have it be converted to vBulletin but the devs took forever to respond to my ticket so I decided to cancel my vB cloud subscription and just move to Discourse where I can take advantage of ActivityPub. And with the state of the United States currently, I need to get this forum back up and running again as soon as possible because it's been offline for too long. Anyways sorry for the long post lol.

I used to host a few forums, but I have toned it down to just one. And that's good for me.
