Fortunately, I am not! I do have a forum that's about 7 years old, so I've dealt with a lot of these issues (on a smaller scale since I have a small forum).

No, I haven't had people stalking me.

A negative, though, is sometimes staying up till 3:00 AM working on the site. And dealing with the odd server problems that come up every so often.

I think that's a positive, as weird as that sounds. I like troubleshooting, it helps me learn.

I'd say a downside is getting too involved (I think this was mentioned earlier) and letting your forum take over your life for a few weeks. I've been known to do that while developing new features / styles. I've got friends and family who need me though, which is where the downside comes in.

Whenever you're in a position of authority—even a relatively meaningless one such as heading up an online community—you will have people that envy your position, and will try and make life hell for you. That's the way of the world and humankind, unfortunately.

Side effects I've had - lack of time to do everything, stress, and expense. I've yet to attract a stalker. It's generally manageable, though.

Or any other side effects of being a forum administrator.
What do I have to calculate before being big board administrator.
Do I have to organize some things to better solve those problems or not to get them?
Thanks!
