Why would you want to do that? This forum is bogged down with n00bs and postwhores as it is.

If you really want to increase traffic, loosen the vice grip on the nuts of quality veteran members. Those who have been here longest have almost certainly both benefited and contributed to the entertainment and information value of this board. When you start threatening them with bannination and devote long moderator threads to said bannination, it makes them think twice about contributing to the site the same thing that has gotten and kept them here.
