>The law: - "The older that a forum becomes, the more reasons that Moderators find to ban the members". Eventually so many people have been banned and so many posts inevitably produce hair trigger responses from the forum administrators that the dreaded condition "Moderator Induced Necrosis" begins to set in. Moderators become more concerned with their own status than the health of the forum and posters begin to drift away to other places where they can speak their minds without having to kowtow to a bunch of people who have been overcome by their own self-importance. In the final stage, all that is left in the forum are (a) the Moderators, (b) the occasional newbie who has wandered in by mistake, soon to leave, (c) the forum arselickers and (d) one or two trolls with the energy left to be entertaining. Soon after that, like a sun collapsing of old age, the forum dies, with only about ten members talking to each other about the same things over and over again, stubbornly soldiering on out of sheer inertia or perhaps even nostalgia. The irony is that if only the forum founders -- who have often left a previous forum in disgust at the lack of freedom of speech - remembered their origins and removed the collective sticks from their anuses then the forum would probably have survived.

I've actually run a gaming forum for about almost 10 years now (it's not huge, we just revolve around a particular game) and we've actually became less and less strict over time. We ban much less often now and no one throws around their weight as a mod/admin against users. We also have fewer moderators than we used to, as we demoted inactive mods/admins without replacing them.

Maybe this is just because we all grew up though, and new players that came were older as well. 4chan has young people continuously filtering in.

Overall this is a direct refutation of that though.
