I've seen this in other forums, but note that correlation isn't causality.
Still trying to throttle a forum because someone think it has to much
postings (it is to popular) is dangerous. It can be to quiet… ;)
But hey, I have only a "45" on the popularity rank! [1] I have a long way
to go! =D

plain to see this *wasn't* the case with this list. Indeed, some opinions
voiced in this thread indicate people want *more* admin action.

This has no simple solution, and it can easily turn a living forum into a
dead forum.
