So if your forum is getting slow and boring.. What do you do (what would you do) to get it back in shape?
 
Post more topics, open up space for discussion. If you stay on the same topic all the time it'll die out, but new topics reignite the fire. That's one method, but there's plenty more.
 
Create new threads and fun things for members to participate in (such as the new trivia game). Also run some contests with prizes: highest poster for the month, best avatar, best new thread and best suggestion of the month (just to name a few). Members like contests and they tend to up the site post and membership count. Once boredom sets in, members just move on

Smooth's on the right track. Just get a few people to start arguing over something and then the arguement spreads like a wild fire and before you know it you're up 1k posts. lol
