But there shouldn't be anything wrong with rewarding active contributors

The rewards should be the enjoyment of having fulfilling discussions and debates with a large and welcoming community. This and interesting and entertaining thread topics are the rewards. And NOT the donkey-and-carrot incentive system, that's just tacky.
There's nothing wrong with an awesome comp, hell I would loves me an xbone but too much of these and purely for the sake of the keeping the forum alive is wrong.
Rather try to strike a balance between your article posting game and threads and comps.
And with the Kinky sexual habits article this department is seriously lacking.

If there is very little-to-no activity on the forum, what will that mean for MyGaming?

I can completely understand where you're coming from. With that said, maybe this is the only option that works for MyGaming at the moment with regards to getting increased activity?
Up until [MENTION=9237]Ike_009[/MENTION]'s post, I did not really understand the mechanics behind how the views/forum/revenue works.
But I have definitely got a better picture now.

Hehehe! That is a very nice way of putting it! I am also quite new to the forum and feel exactly the same way

I think the activity comps do their job well, actual spamming is not tolerated by the staff or the members. The forum has some live, and we get more members. People are motivated to come here and chat a bit. There is always unnecessary posting that's not exactly spam when there's a big comp on, but you have to expect some of that. Ultimately it's a business decision, and it's a marketing exercise. You spend money to offer something valuable with the aim of increasing traffic, so you tailor the requirements to support that.
It's not lekker for people who don't want to have to work at it or can't post enough to stand a chance in a comp, but expecting the rules to change because they don't them is just over-entitlement. If you see a competition, check the rules to see if you qualify, and/or what you have to do to qualify, if you don't qualify, then that's too bad for you.

All I'm saying is that i prefer the MyG staff to be a little more resourceful and creative and not just throw money at things to solve problems.
It's a valid strategy, but you need a bigger community base that constantly pumps good threads and posts if you're gonna rely on them for most of the forum content.

What do you feel, would be a more applicable means of getting this done?

Istill think anybody who has access to a pc or their phone most of the time has an unfair advantage over somebody who doesn't. Even if i get 5 posts in a day, I'm active, but no match for somebody who has 20 posts a day, and thus does not even stand a chance to win. I agree, it shouldn't just be about prizes, but without them these forums wil fade away quickly.

I humbly beg to differ. There are extended periods where there are no competition being run, yet the forum stays relatively active.
Admittedly, I joined this forum to enter competitions as well (many years ago), but have grown to liking it a lot more. Even if there were no comps whatsoever, it is still a pleasant place to be for gamer.
