Here are my thoughts, once again....

First, In order to get people to post news, you would have to give them something to keep them motivated. Extra forum privileges, and not just the ability to post in the announce forums ect..., something to make them feel more part of the team. That’s just an example.

Maybe a weekly news letter, showing new thread titles, news articles, members, updated downloads, ect... I know you’re very professional with the structure of your sentences. And I know you can make some pretty interesting news letters.

Interviews would be really good, but I don't think many members would take that serious, they could just embaressed the site completely. Unless an admin does it. I dunno....

Screenshots are good, as long as there updated on a weekly basis or something, and not every 4 months... Also downloads would be perfect, demos, patches ect.. I like that idea.

Lastly, the RPG, not sure if that would be a good move. Might do what it did last time and take off great, then become less active. Unless you integrated it with the post bit. That would keep alot of members playing/posting, participating.

Hope this helps.
