Hi everyone. I joined a while ago, and meant to came back sooner, but hurricanes, holidays, building my board, blahblahblah.

Well I am here to talk about my board, since this would be the forum for it. Here's the link:

http://www.twistedmedley.com

so I've gone and revamped the skin and buttons (still looking for a custom skin/buttons though), new banner, new affiliates, joined topsites, and have revamped every other aspect of the board as much as my free time allows.

So what I'm getting at is I'm asking all of you, the members of TSL, to help me out with how I can:

1) get more people to sign up
2) get the people I have to be active
3) Keep all these new members I should be getting to stay and stay active

Any other general advice would be most helpful as well. Thanks in advance!

Sorry for not replying earlier, I just kind of got side tracked ><

1) get more people to sign up
- Give them a reason. Looking at it I wouldn't join, because I can find loads of other boards offering similar areas of discussion. You have alot of forums, compact some down together. While you don't have a small post count, they are spread out giving the illusion the forum isn't as busy.

2) get the people I have to be active
- Offer some unique angle of discussion. Give them a reason to contribute. Maybe offer different levels of membership. For example a group for people getting over x posts of something. For your genre you could hold contest that relate to certain parts of the board (graphics/writing/poetry), then give the winner recognition.

3) Keep all these new members I should be getting to stay and stay active
- This is similar to question 2... So read my reply for that one

The answers are kind of similar, just thoughts =) They aren't guaranteed to work
Please igonre the typo's, I am a sloppy typist xD

Competitions and prizes are always great for getting people more active.
