Here are a few suggestions. 1- Get content writers depending on your forum theme and digg every topic. 2- Have activities going on like tournaments and stuff 3- Have contests that benefit your forum memberwise and generally as well, like open a contest "referral contest" . try that
Yes, content writers is a plus for any forum! They need to be quality posts that have everything to do with your forums!
