The forums could use some content and activity. How about a contest to see who can create a topic with the longest thread? Prize can be a buy in or something. We’ve tried this before at a few communities and it seems to have a decent outcome. Of course, the juicier the prize the more activity you’ll get.
Yeah I think that is a good idea. Maybe something for the person that has the most activity (so long as the posts and comments are more than stuff like “yeah I agree” etc and actually have some substance.
