I did run a forum for a while. I'm going to consider re-launching it sometime down the road, and basically run it like a hub for all my sites.
I stopped the first time because it is a very thankless task. There's a lot of behind the scenes stuff that is done - spam destroying, member management, disputes settling. I was running phpBB, and that was a b***h to keep on top of.
I wonder how big forums such as Digital Pointless cope with all the above.
Well, in Digital Pointless' point, they don't :P
