I’ve owned a few blogs and forums over the years, but I prefer building forums to blogs as I find them easier to run.

What about you? Would you rather build a forum or a blog?
I do both
Social media hasn't helped forum activity over the last decade now but we do try our best here 😀
 
I completely agree with you because the development of a forum demand minimum maintenance efforts. Constant refreshing of written material stands as a requirement for maintaining relevance in blog platforms. Members can use forums to produce content and connect with one another which lowers maintenance needs.
 
I'm actually the opposite! I dedicate my time to blog because I find pleasure in developing and selecting content that specializes in a particular subject. Through blogs, I have the freedom to display my creative abilities and demonstrate what I know.
 
I have more experience as a blogger than a forum owner. I own multiple blogs that bring me revenue through Adsense. Blogs are easier to maintain, you can control the content quality. With forums, you need networking skills to bring in members, which I think is very difficult.
 
It's got to be building forums for me too. Forums are a great way to help each other and engage as well. It might be little harder to manage but I prefer it.
