Hopefully @Dynamo will comment here as think we need some guidance from him in this matter.
From my own side, I've had lots of experience at another post4host host with trying to run competitions. I found it not to be very productive with domains as a prize. Like the greatest prize we can offer at post4vps is a VPS. Post4vps forum is already like joining a competition in its own right. So any other competition in addition to our Giveaway should be for posts that have been made in excess of the posts needed for a VPS. It should also be a prize that will be attractive enough for members to want to post for. I found free domains not working at the other Forum. But what can definitely work is to post for a second VPS. Since there is already a case made that not every one should be able to have a second VPS, we can make this a competition for ONE second VPS, that every one gets a chance to compete for. Only posts in excess of the posts made for the first VPS will be considered for the Second VPS and only one VPS (or if Dynamo thinks we could afford more than one) should be "won". There should then be a maintenance for that second VPS say for X number of months. Again, if Dynamo thinks this is a practical option.
Otherwise I don't think there is any other prize at a post4vps forum that could be incentive enough to get people to compete for posts or anything else.
