Forum development Analysis, my point of view

There are generally four categories of people in the Forum
The first category is the tourists and landing very few people, they are in a wait-and-see state, rarely post generally only replies, and very few, no post replies to the Power! This kind of people really need to pay attention to the forum to have their interest in the topic, it is not difficult to keep them, and the owner to help these people more
The second category is water friends, they are the focus of the surface prosperity of the forum, but only the surface prosperity, a forum if not even irrigation, then the forum went to the end, Shuiyu like to help people, show their superb, to properly meet their vanity, but if appropriate, imagine, a forum if all is irrigation, What else is there to develop! So when the water is allowed to guide them, let them have more valuable posts.
The third category is the real core of the forum, for example, a literary forum, there will always be some people holding the ideal, they do not post is the essence of a forum, if not a few such people, this forum is not attractive, so more to win some of these people, more to find some of these people!
The fourth category is some old birds, mixed with the time long feel, feel that everyone can not stand, who will take the eggs, these people belong to the forum Twilight crowd, one day will leave
These four kinds of person is a gradual process, each kind of person must keep to supplement!

In addition, there will always be small groups in the forum, which is absolutely necessary.
A good moderator is also the key to the development of the Forum
Finally, the most important thing is your forum direction problem, to see if there is no attraction to others!
