Well I won't even pretend to be the expert on building a forum getting people active and keeping them active BECAUSE there is so much for that I feel like
I could, should would do to build up 5 Star if I had more time.
However some of the contests we've done and the member recognition programs have helped quite a bit. Again just wish we could do more.
Feel free to check out out we have structured some of our
forum contests and member rewards programs here.
I guess my biggest suggestion is to work on building key relationships with members that share your passion for your subject.
Our most important asset and the most important ingredient for future growth and success, is our core members. Our members are what makes this forum tick and we are lucky to have so many good regulars.
