Okay, now you're a forum junkie - you just LOVE forums. But you're not going to spend your life posting to every forum in existence. So what is the threshold level? What determines a forum worth your time from one that isn't? I guess what I'm asking is when you …

How many of us have forums as a part time (or even full time) business ... and how many of us are in it not to monetize at all, but simply to expand our knowledge and meet other people with an interest in our topic of choice?

Can it be successful to buy established forums? In most cases, after the management transfer, do most moderators stay on? How does the community react? Design changes? Forum management changes?
