I own two forums. I have to tell you that there is a LOT of work involved in keeping a forum running smoothly --and mine are nowhere near as large as this one is. I (with the help of my mods) have to monitor spam, keep members from killing each other, and fix anything that breaks --oh, and I have to do it *yesterday*. I also don't really take kindly to members shouting "censorship!" at me when all I'm trying to do is provide a decent place (on my dime, mind you) for people to hang out in cyberspace. I pay for it, I make the rules. I try to keep members happy, but it's damn near impossible to keep everyone happy at all times.
