Seriously. No one really goes to my site still to post messages and I had about 80 members (very few active). Now I've had about 30 sign up in the week since I made it so you can't see photos unless you're logged in, i.e. registered (there are over 500 already). I've even turned on User Validation, so that bots are less likely to sign up. So people are validating, but I'm not seeing a real increase in posts (One new post to be exact).
Now I am seeking advice. How can I get these new users to post in the forums? Unless there is a huge surge of bots crawling my site, I can thank PhotoPost for my new members. But I do want some participation, either in the gallery or better yet, in the forums. What could be the potential reactions to me using Gardeners auto-group change mod to make it so you have to be in a certain user group to see these photos, which would be attained by making X number of posts? Maybe 5 or 10 posts. What do you think?
