I think a simpler forum would also be easier to moderate. Main criterion: is
it helpful to users? If not, lock/remove it.
Two categories: Technical Support, Development (which can be split up
between client work, and other software/websites integrating bitcoin).
Those two can be replicated per language if a large enough group exists in
that country that is also willing to maintain order.
I have no problems with volunteering some time moderating, but not on the
current forums.
If this is really a capacity issue then IMO we should simply remove the link
and come up with an alternative medium to address user issues (such as a
moderated mailing list). But I don't really believe this. There's a ton of
successful forums that did pick the right structure and helpful moderators,
and a lot of them are volunteer-driven.
