I'd just like to get an idea what you guys think makes a successful forum a successful forum. What are some must-have traits that the admins should have? 

The first thing I take a look for on a new forum is the plugins to see what the admin's got going on. I don't really think the theme has anything to do with the quality of a decent forum. Anyone can have a theme made but not everyone has the experience to run a community. The way moderators interact with members is important and if I see a friendly relationship between the staff and a community it's a positive vibe. Finally, a friendly community always keeps me around. I think forums should be heavily moderated to keep spam and low quality members out.
