How to keep the site active. #1
-> Keep making contests

(This will want people to sign up!)

-> Advertise legally on other forums

(By legally I mean through webmaster showcase & review threads, displaying your site in your signature (if allowed) )

-> Update regularly!

-> Focus on the non-premium/premiums.

Even people who aren't VIP may feel left out, make them feel special and this will help them stay.

Thanks and have a great day.

-> Keep making contests

We hope to continue hosting many different types of contests. We still have an ongoing $100.00 CYBER contest which members can participate in, and we have a free Supreme upgrade contest, etc etc. I'm sure Blue will continue hosting contests to bring in new registrations.

-> Advertise legally on other forums

We're advertising at the moment through use of forum signatures and website showcasing threads. We have purchased a thread sticky within the Lounge section in HackForums on several different occasions. Furthermore, we have an obtainable award for members who have worn our forum signature on another forum for a couple of days.

-> Update regularly!

Blue plans to keep Discussion Zone updated on a regular basis. You can tell he's sticking to his word, considering we have some new custom forum icons, a new VPS, custom forum theme and two custom plugins (My Award Control Panel plugin, and the Username Style Changer). I guarantee there's more updates to come in the future.

-> Focus on the non-premium/premiums.

We are focusing on both usergroups. In fact, we focus on the entire community, but it's nice to give the subscriber usergroup some unique features to enjoy. The custom plugin named 'Username Style Changer' is for Supreme members only, thus only limiting the plugin to a couple of members so it remains unique and harder to obtain.

Blue purchased a VPS (Virtual Private Server) to keep Discussion Zone protected and fast. He also purchased the custom theme and custom forum icons for everyone, thus focusing on every registered member, not just the premium usergroups. If members would like to make suggests for new features, feel free to do so. We'll take every suggestion into consideration (..as long as it's not a silly suggestion, of course).

Contests, this is working the best so far.
