Best Way to Keep Forums Active?

[edgeyveggie]

Anyone have any tips or know of good add ons that help keep forums active? I want to encourage people to post/reply more but it's hard sometimes. Any good advice?

If you own the forums the best thing to do is for your self to be the most active member on the forums.

I start all sorts of topics, discussions on my forums and they are pretty busy. One add on that I use on our forums is the awards system : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684

Since we are a gaming clan and community this keeps our members very interested in not just the awards but also activity on the forums.
