If there is a way to increase community activity through give-aways, competitive prizes, etc. I'd be happy to contribute
One idea so far has been paid or word-of-mouth advertisement, which while possible, does not service the users already here I think
Please offer your ideas with a response below and I'll see what I can do
Admins and Mod team have been contacted as well
CFKaligula:
Doing a giveaway via other social media sounds like a good idea. Not sure how that would work with the website, if they would have to make an account or something.
Runensucher:
Now that I think about it: In another forum I was active a long time (ago) there was a pool of giveaways for forum activities like quizes and stuff. Everyone was able to spend for this pool. We shared old video games, shirts, figurines... it was a german community though. The shipping costs for these giveaways were paid by the new owner. It might not work this way in a world wide community.
The giveaways were ranked with points. For example, a winner of any contest could choose one gift for three points or three gifts for one.
It was quite an interesting concept.
Ma3vis:
Giveaway does sound nice, there's some videogames and collector's stuff I can donate. I'll research some methods to put this together. But if anyone already knows of sites or ways to arrange this, post or let me know via PM.
If we're seeking new users then eventually it'll need to be advertised via social media, which will require other people's participation. Traffic can be bought on Reddit and Facebook, not sure about other sites. Also anyone should feel free to pitch in, I imagine novelty prizes would generate a more direct influence on traffic should we advertise. Right now I can throw in some videogames, magic cards and other consumer related products. Any ideas on what items should be included in the giveaway?
eishiya:
Do giveaways bring in enough people who stay to be worth it? It seems more like a way to get a lot of temporary, but ultimately worthless, exposure and a bunch of dead accounts.
I think it would be more effective to instead toss some tendrils out to other platform in the form of Twitter/Tumblr/whatever posts promoting stuff from the feature chests, weekly "good thread" features that aren't quite feature chest material, that sort of thing. Things like that are more likely to get the attention of the sorts of people who'd actually end up using the site.
