Maintaining a forum can be a huge workload - ask any admin of a busy forum!

Most forums are labors of love for someone, or a group of people. Forums attached to business sites, though, have to be evaluated carefully to see if they will benefit the site's overall mission.

Sorry to hear about the demise of that forum, though. Perhaps they should have tried to spin it off to some of the major enthusiasts. Even though the forum may have been a financial loser, one would hate to compound the problem by creating a bunch of ill will by shutting it down without notice.
