How to get a surfer-forum more active? - GoFuckYourself.com

More Booze · 12-15-2006, 03:26 AM

I have a surfer-forum with about ~500 members, there's plenty of visits to every topic but not many of the surfers post a reply.

Any ideas on how to get a forum more active?

martinsc · 12-15-2006, 03:27 AM

contests, prices for posting (points that they can buy stuff with , like access to special forums)

Sexsitesurfer · 12-15-2006, 03:27 AM

Sexsitesurfer · 12-15-2006, 03:28 AM

More Booze · 12-15-2006, 03:43 AM

Thanks guys!

Does anyone know if there's a plugin for phpBB that will force the visitor to post in a thread before they can access links?

madawgz · 12-15-2006, 03:44 AM

give them something, also you should hire posters to make it look busy, maybe 1-2

im not available for that btw...

12-15-2006, 03:49 AM

Where can you hire posters? I need to do that

Mr.Right - Banned For Life · 12-15-2006, 04:30 AM

Depending what sort of forum you have, if it is one for surfers to look at free porn i would not bother, i had one and they are the biggest waste of time and money.

Thanks for the tip madawgz!

teh ghey, I think you can do it at www.webmasterlabor.com

sumphatpimp · 12-15-2006, 07:07 AM

post bots with multiple identifies.
let them talk to one another.
make post that create controversy, piss people off.

Chris · 12-15-2006, 07:11 AM

offer "points" system and give them a free trial to sites or a pack of content to spank to or something

Jakke PNG · 12-15-2006, 07:16 AM

Make a few dozen nicknames for yourself and make the board seem more active. People are a lot more likely to REPLY to something than to actually start a new thread.

I have been thinking about starting to post a lot under different usernames.

Anyone know a phpBB-addon where I can choose which username I want to post under?

gleem · 12-15-2006, 09:39 AM

I dunno, but if it's a forum only site good luck making decent money per visitor, they usually suck.

I just logout and login again as a different person, or if I am home, have one member on my desktop and another on my laptop(s).

I would make the switch to vBulletin if I were you. I got the shit hacked out of my server using phpBB.

Klen · 12-15-2006, 11:12 AM

Make dramas and intresting threads,it's always help.Also i can post on your board if you want.

Stephen · 12-15-2006, 11:58 AM

I have a small mainstream board and getting folks to post is difficult

Getting lurkers to read is easy

Google visits me several times a day

I've yet to make a dime on it, but I'm not selling anything

Most (attempted) signups come from commie spammers

I'll be re-doing / updating it this weekend

Only (my lack of) time keeps it from growing

rigrunner · 12-15-2006, 12:06 PM

try a mailout to the 500 members, maybe mentioning a competiton or just wishing them a happy pornfilled xmas....with a link back to the hot threads...works for me when my forum slows down.

salesman · 12-15-2006, 12:21 PM

active or attractive ?
maybe the content of your forum isn't actual/attractive or what

Hentaikid · 12-15-2006, 12:30 PM

Fakeposting is the best, contests not so much
