I can tell you that kerneltrap.org is approaching a state of uselessness and it uses the latest Drupal.

Spammers are creating accounts for themselves and then: (1) sending gibberish messages for unknown reasons (by appending to long-dead threads), or (2) claiming to have a "problem" (i.e. my hard drive died), followed by "you should use XYZ Data Recovery, Inc." (from someone at XYZ).

Because the long-dead threads appear in Drupal  at the top, they push the other "current discussions" off the screen, making "new legitimate discussion" vanish within a few hours (or even minutes) at the most.

With intense manual moderation, Drupal could work fine.  I think the moderator hoped it would run itself.
