    Hi guys, I'm working on a general forum at the moment, and right now, I've got an arcade and a photo album set up.

    Is there anything else I can add? (something that doesn't bore the users, something that's entertaining and fun)

    Besides an arcade, what do you think would make a website more entertaining and fun to visit and browse through?

    Giving positive rep and even some cash through PayPal for suggestions I really like. :)

    Yes, I have turned that on. Just looking for anything fun and entertaining I can add to my site. I can't really think of anything other than an arcade and a photo album :confused: lol..

    Organized contests are always good. Say you have a weekly, monthly, or whatever contest that users can actually win money, prizes, etc. Make sure that the contest is forum intensive and encourage users to post what they are working on...etc.

    I agree...the graffiti wall is a pretty nice feature and it's cool you added the arcade. I love forum arcades. It creates nice friendly competition between members.

    You don't really need to 'busy' the forums with alot of features. Just make some good interesting fun topics and hopefully you'll gradually pick up some nice dedicated daily members who will keep your forum ticking over nicely for you.
