How do you keep members on your forum? What strategies do you use?

As a member to several forums, the one thing that keeps me interested is activity.

Well we are very active here as you already know Smile

For a new forum, yes. Still, more activity is always desirable. A comfortable posting environment is always nice which this place has also. Smile

I'd say activity.

Not just spam activity, where the posts contribute to nothing, but activity that is high quality and promotes discussion.

Agreed. There's nothing worse than posting a thread and two days later, no one's replied.

Post whoring. I did it on several forums.

Try to always have great content. Users need an incentive to stay, so I try to have good threads that users can join in on, ability to win things etc.
