8) let the board run itself, while you advertise the heck out of it.

At least, that's what I plan on doing....

What kind of incentives to offer? I have a very nice domain - EPLforum.com, stand's for English Premier League forum.

FYI, EPL is the biggest soccer league in the world. Because of the domain, my site ranks high on search engines without much effort from me, e.g. number 1 on MSN.

And because of this, I get about 30+ visitors everyday. The only problem is none of them are posting
