Perhaps I'm a bit out of sync, but it seems that the mob is running DNForum instead of some sensible minds lately.
From my casual observation, this may be the result of:
a) the lack of respect for voluntary moderators (which I'm sorry to say, action has to be coming from Adam himself to revert it), and
b) an ultra "Laissez-faire" policy of moderation which has seriously hurt the "rule of law".
For a small circle of closely knit and respectable businessmen, the latter, anything goes forum management style may work. But DNForum is much bigger than that, and many quiet lurkers (who could well be your core clients) may have already been offended by those active bullying few who think they are running DNForum.
Let me cite 2 examples here:
- http://www.dnforum.com/f496/107-dom...t-ztom-net-streamsrubs-com-thread-384574.html
This guy (GUA) CLEARLY and knowingly post his "above $100" sales in the "$100 and under" section, but no action was taken.

This REPORTED post CLEARLY requires action. I couldn't believe any sensible moderator would think otherwise and let DNForum goes down like one of those cheap forums where kids paste a dozen pictures in a single post.
So my question is, what's wrong with DNForum moderation?
