Sure it's possible, but like many things it all depends. ;)
I think for most people it's just a hobby. The majority of the people don't stick with it and that's fine for a hobby, but it's no way to run a business.

When there are too many messages for you to moderate yourself then you have a successful forum. We have this problem bad, tons of off topics and such, just can't get to it all, good thing for the report button but it is a task still.
Bad thing though is this forum is still growing and getting busier and busier.

The only definition of success is whether it meets your goals or not.
I have a forum that is 3 years old, with about a dozen members and barely 3,500 posts, but for the tasks it has I consider it a success.
