How do you actively encourage participation on your forum?
Have you noticed any specific strategies that resonate better with your community?

Engaging polls, contests, and acknowledging members' contributions with badges or shout-outs can enhance community involvement.

Consistent and genuine interaction from moderators also plays a key role in creating a vibrant and participative forum.

A lot of small forum owners like me do not have organic activities on our forums and the only way we can get active participation on our forum is by being involved in post exchange, buying posting packages, or hiring someone to do paid posting.
