Spark Promotion

I have been creating forums since 2004. It was after I found a technology forum while I was looking for information on something, and after using the forum over quite a few months, I gained interest in wanting to run my own forum.

From 2004 to 2009, I started creating my own forums, going through trial and error, until I created the first Chat Addicts, which I owned from 2009 to 2017, until I had to make the tough decision to close it and move on to something new.

8 years was my longest-running forum so far.

How often should I post on my own forum?

How do I create blogs that are simply unrelated but all administered under one account. As of current I only use Google sites & add pages to update my blog. Is this the norm? I am just starting out from blue. I have no idea, appreciate some help? But if there is a will, there is a way?

Right now Blogger looks stagnant & WordPress can’t give me a free domain. Appreciate any form of help or word of advice?

How do I create good forum rules?
