Your software and its settings may dictate some of your to dos, e.g., user approval, avatar/image approval, post approval for pre-mod users, etc. One antique forum package I use requires me to manually archive threads.

Here's one that isn't obvious: Make time to participate in the discussions! I find myself getting bogged down in admin/mod activities and not interacting with members/visitors. If you take the time to engage your members, you'll enjoy the forum more and make members feel more welcome.
