I did several years ago and it's been great.

I'm still a bit hooked on HN. But not nearly as bad. ;)

My strategy was to slowly unsub from everything until it got so boring I just stopped visiting all together.

That's why reddit, as an investment, is so strange.

Running forums as a business is antithetical to the needs of the community. Fortunately, there's always "another forum". Quitting is really easy. I know because I've been doing this for almost 30 years.
