Now more forum activity naturally would be nice and while I don't have easy answers to how that would happen and I don't want to be a doomsayer I think I have to point out a few things:
1. GW2 in itself is socially active in-game, so for many forums aren't as necessary to keep tabs with friends and guildmates, since you do that anyway while playing.
2. PSDH is by its nature a... hum... secondary guild for many who join it, since we're (at the moment at least) mainly active during our Teq and TT runs, which means that many just pop in to do those and then run along to play with their primary guilds.
Also, just as an observation, for many regging into the forums is just a must-do-thing to join they do to get in and then they never think of the forums again. As an example, I'm in a finnish gaming community called Aseveljet, which has currently 1659 registered members on the forums. Of all those members (some of whom have already left the community), roughly 150 have been really active with post counts numbering over 200 and over 1000 have never posted basically anything else than their application to join.
Now I didn't post this to sound disheartening, since I'm all for more activity in the forums and more activities in-game, I just wanted to... try to bring things into the discussion. Or something.
Also, I'm sorry that I can't give you ideas to use at least at the moment, I'm far more of an advisor than an innovator.
