Hi guys, thankyou for your responses, I'm taking it all in, and just thought of something which may draw users in
"Make your website something that offers real benefit to your site visitors."
Its a nightlife forum, so people look for stag and hen information, I've emailed a couple of stag and hen companies to see if they'd give discount to members via my site.
So if i was to create a locked section, "stag and Hen discounts" and make so they need to post maybe 5 posts, to auto unlock the section.
its a win win, I get post contributes, and the user gets discounts!! just thinking of something else other than just stag and hen, in this way.
what you think?
