Borkus, thanks for you feedback.
Are you suggesting I edit the homepage of the site to a blog-style and add an introduction to the site there, maybe later website news?
The problem is I really need the homepage to have the latest posts, top users, top posts, etc.. without that I am loosing a lot of search engine attention and users wont be able to find the posts easily.
What you suggest makes a lot of sense, people do not seem to understand what the site is about - I asked some friends to check it out and give me feedback, their first response was "Ok, that was a good read.. but what do I do now?" and "Oh I didn't know I could post stuff as well!".
I think I need to rethink the homepage completely or maybe just add a notice on all the land pages (they are mostly the more popular posts) and a link on there to another page with information about the site.
As for incentives to sign up, those never work as well... what happens when the incentive goes? plus people who be signing up only for the $10 / [insert-incentive-here] and that would result in really low quality community. I want peoples interest in the website it self.
Thanks everyone!
