One MAJOR help in mod'ing a forum, active or otherwise: an email notification feature. Ideally, this will notify a mod any time either of two things occurs: a new post in any of the forum's topics; and a reply post in any active topic.

Yes, this does generate a lot of email dreck on a really active forum; but for those of us whose boards are in the "sort of active" category, it's a necessity.

Of course, that presupposes one checks one's email at least once a day....

Oh - software. Using phpBB right now, like it fine, not sure I'll stay with it forever.
