NEED HELP: how to engage new users?

Eugene

I would like to address all our photo contests and forum members.

If you check our forum registrations - number of members grows with every passing day. We have antispam tools enabled, so all new registrations come from real people.

If you check our stats on home page where our top photo contest members are listed you will notice that the list hardly changes for months.

Could anyone share some ideas what we miss, what we should do differently, etc to make, from your point of view, the website more attractive, appealing, etc to new members?

Any ideas, tips, thoughts are welcome.
