I've been around this site for quite awhile, even way back when the video section was free (ahhh.....the good old days, if only I would have posted something and grandfathered myself in
). I recently started really trying to contribute to the site, but it sometimes seems like there is no incentive for me to do so. The problem is easily discovered by a simple browse of the members list. Probably 99% of the members have never posted on this forum and never will. If we could somehow convert maybe 5 or 10 percent of those non-posters into posters then this forum would be (at least in my humble opinion) a much more successful forum.
Here's my plan to do so, which mimicks some other forums (the name's of which I will not mention). Create something like a virtual cash incentive plan for posts, like maybe $ .25 per picture posted and maybe $.05 for a simple response such as "nice post". Then non-video members (like me) could spend the virtual cash that they have accumalated in exchange for a select few videos from the video section. Oh well, there's my ramblings for the night.
