A thought...

If the goal is to get more overt participation on the Forum, what about doing some offerings intended solely for Forum members?

We do the builds, but that results in one knife to be purchased or won by one of a number of Forum members.

Occasionally offering something not otherwise available might attract more people to the Forum and could help stimulate more overt participation on here.

Example: We just went through designing a build...what if everybody who participated would be qualified to buy one of the knives, and the knives would be engraved to reflect their uniqueness as a Forum build?

I'm sure this would entail some scrambling and extra work for people who make and sell the knives...but it may be something to consider.
