These days forums seem to be better platform than a blog. For a blog you need to create content but for forum contents will be created by the users.

If you mean if I am working in forums then yes I am working in many forums and some of them for no money. Yes I am working in many forums and learning new things.

I don't think owning and managing a forum is not an easy task, but is is a more responsible task than a blog site. You have to be alert all times to take care of spammer in forums.

I don't own a forum, but I do participate in a lot of forum sites. I want to set up a forum site but not yet for now. Maybe in the future.

[swalia]

I am working on Postloop. But I don't own any forum nor I intend to start one.

[gabr1ela]

Maybe in the future I would be interested even this seems interesting to have a forum, see this every day, yet work on a few forums and do not think I have time for now mine.

I don't have my own forum and I am not interested in having one. I work in Forum coin and it is the only one for me right now.

While self-generating content would seem to be an advantage of a forum over a blog, I would argue you have to work far harder in order to attract people to post on your forum. There are other disadvantages of forums: finding advertisers/ networks that accept you, moderation, that you are generally forced to find volunteer staff, content control etc. Forums are less popular and active than they once were. Social networks have taken their place e.g. Facebook groups/ pages.

I am starting something "similar" to a forum.

[nakitakona]

I am interested to create forum which I want to moderate. In fact, I have posted somewhere here that I am asking how to build or create a forum.

[iamshane487]

Yes, you're right. The forum sites don't need long contents in 300 words or more than that then we can earn money.

I am working in paid to post forums but I am not the person to start and handle a forum.For that more experience needed.I find fun in working forums

[Angie10]

I don't own a forum of my own, and quite frankly, I have neither the intention nor the desire to. I've heard it takes a lot of work and energy, both of which I can't spare at the moment.

These days forums seem to be better platform than a blog. For a blog you need to create content but for forum contents will be created by the users.

The problem that brings with it by default, is the content isn't always of the caliber that brings more activity and hence more revenue. Then if you try to control it, you are likely to drive away more good content than your participants generate. I would say from my personal observation, there are more people online trying for an easy buck than there are those willing to contribute the valuable content and accompanying actions that a forum would need to excel.

I am opening my forum soon. It will be about technology, news, cracking and stuff. I will be using phpBB platform.

[moondebi]

I do not have any forum. I write to many, though. making a forum may not be a big deal, but it is difficult to sustain in a competitive environment.

[Vinaya]

I have created a forum.My main motive is to use this as a promotion platform to generate traffic to my blogs. I am yet to launch officilally

[thisnthat]

I used to have one years ago, but it wasn't for making money. I've thought about making one for that purpose. I really wanted to make one similar to this one. It would have to make some good money though, in order for me to put up with all the headaches. I'm rethinking that idea.
