What makes users more active?Hey,
I'm researching what makes users more active on forums and starting from Digital Point forums through others like WebCosmo.
What do you think can make a forum different?
* How much rich are the users?
* how much biz they have?
* How much free time they have?
Also what are the factors that increase quality posts?
I found this forum forum.freelanceswitch.com which is small but has a very high quality of replies and posts.
Do you think members who reply are paid? or it's just about their mentality?
Thanks for sharing here whatever you see useful from your own experience. and write a lot with some quality

There are tons of things. At webcosmo, contests get peopel to post more, and then some people post a lot because they want to and like the forum, others feel its a sense of duty as mods or old members, and then there are those who need to post to actually get information - like you

Reasons are as wide as the number of forums on the internet.Amir Mullick, SEO and Internet Marketer.

i think it's mostly about the forum's atmosphere
if users are nice and help each other it'll lead to more post
whereas a very serious forums will scare users

Well the main think that attracts the user to post is his reputation at the site, Seeking Information, Giving Information etc etc

As far as I know, most of the users are joing to forums to promote their business. However, there are guys who have joined to learn more as well as some are experts are there to give help hands who joined there for fun or for their business

its always interaction that makes me have interest in a forum.. some forums are filled with small talks and posts that does not really make sense.. a good team of forum staff and mods will surely make a great forum active...
