Hope to get nice suggestions and inputs from here.



Problem is maybe you're being too informative, and that maybe doesn't encourage a user to respond to any discussions?

That is why you should open threads, with a few questions pointing to the public, this makes other users involved in the discussions, as they try and help out.

If you simply have threads with lots of information, and no real questions there, why should they bother to reply?

Common mistake many forum owners do in the early stages, I think the best way is to find a balance, between informative and threads dedicated to questions etc.
