That was actually one of the reasons I
began moderating a forum many years ago. I spent so much time in the forums on one particular site, became very passionate about a particular category of discussion which the existing forums weren't satisfying, and didn't let up until a new forum was created with me as the moderator. I've since left but it's still going strong
I think the only way to curb that kind of addiction is to intentionally start fights with high profile forum members so that everyone on the forum turns against you and you no longer enjoy the forums and are forced to leave. It's really the only solution.
