Admin burnout

[Wayne]

Have you ever dealt with burnout with running your forum? What did you do to get back into the swing of things?

This has happened to me before when running forums that require a lot of moderation. It helped to get another supermod on board to help keep things tidy while I cleared my head and got back into the game.

My forum means a lot to a number of long term and loyal members so that normally motivates me.
Where you start to question if it's all worth it and hit some flat spots is the effort required to attract and encourage new members into making a contribution to discussions.
If I could solve that ongoing challenge then motivation would be easier to achieve,

I have definitely experienced admin burnout in my time. It was usually when I had high expectations for goals that were difficult to accomplish.

I set the bar much lower now and go for goals that are easily achievable.
