Does it take a long time to create a website from scratch ??

Not necessarily a lot of time, but it does require access to a server where the forum can sit, and bandwidth for topics.? Things can also go wrong from time to time, requiring technical intervention.? It seems like an easy task, but I've known people who spend all their free time chasing after their sites!

Do you need the Moderators to stop people spamming or matters becoming abusive ??

Sometimes both, depending on the list makeup.? In the case of CloneWheel, the members aren't necessarily abusive, but they love to push each others' 'buttons,' and some of them like off-topic threads a lot.

Also, some lists are 'informational' (like this one), while others are more 'conversational' (like CloneWheel).? In conversational lists, if the 'real' topics die down, often members will branch OT to fill the void.? That's where the trouble can begin, because OT threads by definition aren't well defined.

The problem becomes worse as the membership increases.? If a list has 50 members, there will only be 5-10 emails on most days, and most of them will be on-topic.? If the list has 2,500 members then things get more difficult.? If nothing else, the moderators are supposed to scan every post to see if it suits the forum.? Reading 100-200 emails per day, many of which aren't of personal interest to the moderator, can get old really fast.

i have never been on the site CloneWheel.? i am kind of guessing its something to do with Hammond Organ VSTi's ??

Not just VSTis; anything that sounds like a Hammond B-3, but isn't an actual electromechanical Hammond organ.? That includes Hammond-Suzuki products like the XK-3C, and clones from Clavia/Nord, Crumar, Korg, Roland, Voce, etc.? It also includes players who use their Kurzweil, Motif, or even mobile phone to get Hammond-like sounds.
