I am Very Disappointed with the Condition of the Forum.. We have almost 0% activity and so many blue topics along with a few external links...
Please Read the Following Points Very carefully and Make sure you follow them...
1. When you create a topic, do not create it for the sake of it and make sure you will revisit your topic and comment on it.
2. Rather than creating multiple topics on one episode by one member. If members can add their thoughts into one thread, then the thread will have more weight for discussion. You rather have one healthy pink thread than multiple blue threads created by the same person. This will still serve the purpose but you'd be working smarter rather than harder and it will reduce the work of DEV team as well.
3. You need to attract more people on the forum to participate.
You need to add more fan fiction on the forum, apparently FF really sells.
4. Adding a picture really will help threads as people will re-visit and it will increase the number of views use pic creation to make pics, it takes just a few minutes. OR use Freebies posted by others in the Gallery.
5. Let other people use your stuff, like pics too... If you post a pic or siggy in the gallery and do not mind other copying it from there - then write Freebies with it.
6. Do not create repeated topics, Otherwise your topics will be left in blue as the comments will be divided.
7. Celebrate all occasions with every Member.. Click on your Dashboard and keep a track of the Birthdays... Create Birthday posts and share your happiness with Each other...
