I thought the same as randompeeps...

as stressful as you want to make it in most cases... but i will say the life of a forum owner is not without its struggles. stress between partners when we don't agree, stress with users yanking our chains to see how far they can push us, stress with trying to be as fair and impartial 3rd parties as we can be while not protecting 1 person over another...

there's a lot to it... and that's without the occasional hack attempt, advertising solicitation, etc.

I feel for you, OD.
sounds really horrible.

Dude spends 10 years tearing people apart in one sided online vendettas where his victims have no right of reply, then dies of stress a few days after he becomes the subject of vendettas on a forum he doesn't contol.

I think there's a word for that, it's a bit like irony but different.

Karma is a bitch.

Spot on. It's fucking stressful, but I'm loving doing it. You described it perfectly OD.

Oh please! Owning a forum is not stressful in any measurable level.

Anything can be stressful. It all depends how the individual handles it. I wonder why people stress about their jobs. It doesn't mean they shouldn't it just means that I don't.

There is a likelihood that the current expat death may have been suicide brought about by stress and/or depression. Quite possibly linked to having owned a forum.

I must note that depression is the leading killer of adult makes in Australia up to the age of 43. 21 fathers every week suicide in Australia thanks to the bizarre ways of the family court.

Nothing about this suggests suicide or homicide... not sure where you and the chicken keep getting these weird speculations.
