I think a lot would hinge on cost, especially for the larger forums. What is your idea here to monetize?

I was thinking of pricing based on pageviews/month.

As a forum owner, to me "pageviews/month" is a pretty scary metric. "You mean I'll have to pay more if Google wants to index me?" What about bandwidth/mth? That seems more palatable to me.
