A "internet poker buddy" just inquired as to how one could enhance the utility of a poker forum. I should have told him to join the site :).
Here are my suggestions so far. Any others (as comments or as posts) would be great.
*Slightly incentivize forum use for members and coaches (my guess is that crafting and adapting a +EV incentive).
*Creating and maintaining results threads that coaches read.
*Putting every hand from a coaches video into the HH importer, putting a link to it in the videovideos.php entry. That way a specific hand can be posted in the video threads (or even the general section).
*Encouraging member videos or HH reviews. Encouraging coaches to sweat member videos and provide their own commentary. Two free weeks on the site if your video is used by a coach should be incentive enough.
*Issuing monthly challenges based on themes. Example- river play OOP for August 2009.
*Get QTip, Leatherass, and Cottonseed to post more hands.
*Generating a social network feature akin to facebook's front page, to encourage people to read their friends' posts. The more people read, the more they post.

the tracking friends Idea is probably the best idea here, but I think it's standard in most forum software. People just dont realize it is there/know how to use it.
