erm know i very rarely post but always try and pop on when i can to read boards but must say they have changed alot to when first joined the group as now there are lots and lots of ongoing posts that arent so easy to reply too?? instead of just posts of people just chatting about stuff??? hope this isnt taken as critisism as i dont hardly post and maybe thats the reason that there is more ongoing posts as people are posting less??
Maybe to generate a little bit more chat on the main board, you could have 'start a new thread on the general board' as one of the daily challenges like on Team games.
