I figured it out though.

go to blocktype_cron in your database and change the refresh from 0 to 30 or whatever minutes you'd like to run it.

Shared servers with lots of visitors need to be careful about setting crons to frequently. Especially if you have a class of 30 students all posting on a forum at the same time. In that situation, I think, you need the cron to run frequently but depending on server load it could cause errors.

Just stuff to think about.

PS: My unix cron job is set to php5 /path/to/lib/cron.php
