Most of these members are not active.

What do you suggest to help the forum become more active with member participation?
What ideas did you use on your forum?

It seems like most of the people come to your site for set-up info. After they are set up, they are done with you, save for the few die hards that want to compare stats/etc.

I don't know enough about the niche to offer a valid suggestion, but somewhere, you're missing "ok, i'm set up now, why should i continue to stay here?'.

Thanks Brian for your bright remark. You may have hit the nail on the nose. I will look into this suggestion.
