I have to say I disagree with making our posting requirements any stricter.

Currently we already do not have enough active members in this forum. Requiring such specialized posts every month will just make the situation even worse.

Not to mention that not everyone would test new software with their VPS, run updates, or have interesting resources to share etc EVERY MONTH.

But I like your suggestion to add "weight" for creating certain new topics. That should encourage, in a positive way, members to create these new topics.

I have been reading from afar and I generally agree with this notion of thinking. I think adding diversity to forum topics and going outside of our personal comfort zones to create threads that people can post on will be the best strategy to create a more lively community.
