Most are just lurkers.

What can we do to get more members to post?

They'll post when they are ready to...some never will. Just provide an inviting environment so that people aren't afraid to post, and more people will. We can all disagree on points without being disagreeable. If people think we are all just arguing with each other then they likely won't post.
Some of the other content may persuade some to post, like with the news articles. I'm sure there is someone in there that only reads and posts in there. Others only post in the political forum, or the Lounge, etc. To each their own.

Also, not everyone has the ability to post all the time. It'll happen over time.

The News Articles haven't been updated in 3/4 days.

Can anyone add articles?

Didn't know until you asked that question. Looks like you cannot. You can always add them to the Sports forum though. Ox is the one putting those up though, and I know he's been running around the last few days, so that might be why.
He's going to have to expand moderators at some point. Maybe he'll get someone to keep up with the articles too....dunno.

I don't know why the news forum hasn't been getting any new articles posted up, but URG is absolutely correct. Any sporting news you run into and would like to share, feel free to post it up on the main sports forum. Other topics of interest are also welcome in the Lounge or Political forums as they apply. Don't be shy. If you like it, share it if it hasn't already been shared. Every new topic is something new for people to discuss. More discussion = more traffic to the message board = happy ox.

The News section never went more than 24 hours without being updated....or maybe it was 36. I've been doing it once a day.

As for members posting, I've received PM's from over 50 of them stating they would post more if Turk was banned.

We have a similar problem on "The Gator Vault". About 90% who join never download anything..... Why join a torrent site and never use it? Most sign up, and never come back at all...
