Hi sunny,
thanks for your words. I am feeling really happy that at least one member is thinking this way to promote the site and to encourage the members to participate in the forum.
Thanks for being part of the forum and making suggestion.
I request all other active members to write about the idea sunny has written.
And sunny, tell me if which forum should be member's only?
Another request/suggestion/question to all members of the forum,
Have you ever introduced this forum to any friend of yours? Have you ever asked them to visit or be part of the forum? If yes, then were you successful?
Looking for replies

As you all knows Last few months I am also an active member.Sunny is correct non members are watching but they are not interested to become a member.Interaction within members are very less in this forum.so the posting of members are also reducing. We can do one thing every good post we can give applauds as appreciation of the post.(Applauds can be restricted by numbers and a time limit) One applaud means one heart sign thus the interaction(signs of applaud) encourage people to connect with each other.Numbers of applauds will be shown near the status of members. And start some extra threads. like members can post their own clicked photos if it is taken by a mobile phone or digital camera.Introduce different cultures of world they knows with photos.some games means someone starts a word in English and the second person should post a word starting from the last letter of that word .Start a introduction lounge so that people can introduce themselves in the forum.content hiding is not a solution let them see the first thread they are clicking and for another threads they should get membership for viewing the thread.These types of changes we can make. I have tried to give an illustration below For giving applauds for good post .
Regards
Astir

Sirs, quite nice suggestions i shd. say. i think already a few colleagues of mine including nuns are watching our wonderful site and one of them said she really liked some of the sections! i promise well spend more time in summer vacations n all! Thanks to all.
I learned about this forum from one of my friend. and then I found out that this forum is really interesting. so I think we should tell other people about this forum and encourage them to be member.
sunny is right at saying that non members are watching but they are not interacting.
Astir has a very nice idea (Applauds).
But what i see here is that the active members itself do not appreciate each other that much. On some post and for some times, the interaction is good and some times its like none. A reason for that may be that there are too many posts in the forum in a day. is it so? anyone agrees to me on this point?
I agree to srabon's line

if we have some friends of ours on forum that we know personally, we will surely read them and interact them more than the ones we are new to. It ll increase interaction with them as well.
As said by astir, games are not a bad idea to start. But i see that there is already a forum for this purpose "Fight Club", but no one seems to be interested in it
The ones who are missing in this thread yet, should also share their suggestion and let the admin finally conclude what should be the fastest and best way to do so. The ones who have not participated are

personally i think that if we do what sunny has told
then we would just get more and more members
i.e. not more visitors, we will just get more users
guests will convert into users
and this will too block the bots too..
so i guess it would be a big loss to the forum
SIMPLY GRT SUGGESATION FROM U DEAR SUNNY....
MANAGEMENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING POSITIVE ,SO MORE MEMBER
WILL ACTIVE AND SHARE GOOD POSTS.
THANKS DEAR SUNNY....KEEP ON GOING DEAR.
