Simple: How do you keep your members coming back?

New features and events.

You can also do contests, and make sure the content is constantly updated

Contest comes into events. And yeah new content.

Alright, I can see that. Definitely new content; without it your forum is dead

Also I email users that haven't been on in a while.

I sometimes find those emails quite annoying

 

[StevenF50]

What even if you haven't been on the forum in like 6 months?

 

[Subz]

yh, must be a reason why you didn't go back to the forum.

 

[StevenF50]

Not really, I always forget about forums.

Same, but I do end up visiting the forum just to see the updates

Good content to keep them interested and wanting more. Active community & helpful / welcoming members. Send regular newsletters & emails, but not too many times per day / week, as the more you send, the more likely they are to not be opened. Run some competitions & prize draws too. Maybe give rewards if you can get some sort of loyalty scheme going.

By writing an article, always reply to every one and a contest every year cause we couldn't afford every month.
