I just figured out you're talking about database fragmentation rather than filesystem fragmentation.
Database fragmentation should really be hidden from the end user due to database/filesystem caching, the efficient use of stored procedures and the fact that very little data is deleted from the database due to the fact that the forum is adding rows rather than deleting them. I'm pretty certain that this won't be an issue on a forum of this size, but I'm happy to be proven incorrect if it fixes the problem.
Databases. You love em or you hate em.

Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
