I have been trying to come up with ideas to help not only bring new members to the Stephen Lawhead Forum but also for all of you to remain happy here and have fun.
I have a few ideas already which I will run by SteveD, but I was wondering if any of you had some ideas for things you'd like to see.
Here's a few of mine... Although I haven't thought through the symantecs of them yet. Please give me your honest opinions or add your own suggestions. ;D
Member of the Month Compitition
Post of the Week Compitition
Custom Titles
Active Member Incentives (i.e. Banners, Avatars, Emoticons etc...)
A new Suggestion/Help Forum
Bragging/Shopping Threads (great deals you've gotten)
Weekly Quiz Compitions
Monthy Desktop Threads
Avatar of the Month Compitions
Sig of the Month Compitions
Creating a Welcoming Committee
Creating a "privilaged" board for members of certain levels.

Admins are allowed to change people's post counts... that could be a prize.
Trivia competitions!

Also, I was wondering if anyone would like to see a sub forum dedicated to News/Religion/Politcs where you can debate till your heart's content... or if you like it the way it is?

what about having more sections so that the general section doesn't get overrun?......e.g. Arts & Entertainment or maybe an Introduction section, where newcomers can say who they are and give any info they want (so you don't have to keep bumping the Getting to Know You thread.)

I think a RPG would be fun. Delve into one of the stories that has been written and go from there.
As for the trivia, I would recommend Tolkien for starters. I think it would be pretty easy to have a section for games and in there have a number of different trivia topics.

I think a few more sections would help as well. I've seen an introduction area at OBOD and it seems to work well there as well.

You can get a chatroom from a different host and put it into the headers/footers section here.

It seems there is a standard java script application that can easily be added to the Header or Footer of this board. I think this sounds like a great idea!

I think this sounds like a great idea! Another thought I had as a "prize" would be a selection of new Skin choices.....

When are the old board messages going to be put on? Seems like we've been waiting a while to read them...

I think it would help to split things up a bit and an RPG would be a great way to keep people coming back and raise the activity levels here.
