Have you been a forum administrator?

I've had that experience before. It's like a democracy, you have to consider the opinions of the majority so that they don't get frusterated, even if you don't want to make changes based on their opinions that they have. You can't be an idiot, and you have to think in fair terms, and follow the rules that you have put in place yourself. I could type 10 pages on all of this, but a lot of it comes down to being respectful, consideration for your users, and improvements as opposed to your competition sites so that you can gain more members. It's all about updates too, as you've said, they can get bored easily, which means less activity, and your forum slowly dies. Seen it over and over again.
