Keith,
In an effort to increase the number of people posting, how about this....... The Freestuff drawing as a great idea. The odds of winning, however, are heavily weighted toward the infrequent posters (1000+ members, 100-200 active posters). How about a weigthing system..... nothing complicated..... something like every XX posts gets you 1 entry into the drawing. I think this might encourage people to post a little more. Those with obviously gratuitous posts to pad their message count would be policed by the members at large
Thoughst?
