I consider a board a failure once management neglect over-run spam posts.

Do you mean financially? Or that I feel "ownership"?
I don't own it financially, I do feel interest and commitment though. I don't like to start things and not finish them. So I guess I feel ownership.
Do you have domain access, hosting access etc? If the owner isn't committed then offer to take it off him if it's a niche you're interested in. If it's not at all then your chances of success drastically decrease in my opinion.
Well, he is pushed for time, and I understand that. I think he is NOT going to get posts because he isn't putting the time in. At a certain point I guess I just have to say "Bah. Shame, could have done well". I can't run his board for him (well, not for FREE).
I'd rather have you helping me on my board. You seem to have a knack for developing forums.
Lol no. I have no idea how to get users and things,I am far too shy. I like making pages and things.
Honestly, cut your losses if the owner isn't committed. You can accomplish more working on a different project.

Users? Users come and go off their own accord. We can honestly do little to increase or decrease that.
To make a website look good and function well, now that takes real skill.
Nice theme, I couldn't tell it was an edited version of the Apart themes until I saw the footer.
