I can tell you that it's hard to maintain a forum. First, it's hard to attract posters. Second, you have to fight spam. Third, you have to prune your forums once in a while. But it's worth it.
OK, here I come again not knowing something. What does it mean to "prune" your forums? What exactly you have to do? I understand fighting spam, since I've seen it in other forums, but to "prune" is the first time I read it... and I am curious to know! Thanks!
