Messageboard traffic

Much discussion within FootyMad last week, and the subject came around to visitors who come to look at the forums, but don't ever post - Virtual Dogging as someone called it! You can see it in the predictocomp table thresd - every week it gets several hundred visits even though there are only 13 of us in it. If we could get even a small proportion of those who like to look at what we are doing to actually participate, it would greatly improve forum activity and enable FootyMAd to further reduce the number of adverts on each page. I'll repeat that, FURTHER REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ADVERTS. I have my own thoughts, but I'm a lazy bugger and would welcome any input from you guys.
