    I need tips for getting visitors to sign up

    We've upgraded our website to include a forum and still getting our loyal visitors, but none are signing up. We're thinking of creating a why to sign up article/post/thing. What things should we include in the article and any other suggestions. PS the site is Jasonthenerd.com Thanks in advanced!

    You need to draw visitors into the forum by mentioning individual forum threads on your homepage and in articles.

    Tie the forums into the blog. You need a way to make comments on the articles appear in teh forums or force them to register in the forums to post

    the site doesn't have a blog, but we will try and tie the forums to other parts of the site. Thanks again!

    Your articles should have a commenting area, I don't see a reason to sign up if I only read the articles.

    Is there such a hack that allows people's comments from a blog/article, appearing on the forum? If there is, that would be a brilliant way to build the forum. The posters wouldn't feel like they're talking to nobody (as they think they're just posting a comment to an article), and when others go to the forum they'll see it as quite busy and may sign up.

    I think this was talked about in another thread as well though.
    Don't you just love free internet games ?

    Yea, adding comments like that is simple. Grab comments via rss and feed them into the forum.
