It helps a lot to have good moderators and admins run a forum in addition to a strong core of really nice people. Keeps the tenor likable. Works, for the most part, at an astronomy forum I used to work at. It was critical there because you have kids and folks just getting into the hobby as well as old timers. More forums should follow this model. The trick is having good people to help run it - 'cause the pay sucks.
