Questionnaire:

What changes do you think should be made? (Other than changes made to the "theme" or "skin" of the forum, I'm working on that)

Let's see... What do you think about expanding the 'Books' category? I take it that the forum is about books and other writing forms, so I believe it should accommodate such content more. For example, content can be sorted by the genre of the writing, or type of the writing, and so on. That way there is more space to add threads and posts related to books, and hopefully discussions can be concentrated there too. I also believe character-specific discussions are better off under the series thread as they are related and can hardly be separated from each other. Such discussion can also help to bring attention to the series, thread, and the section in general.

I've been thinking of adding a RPG section to the forum. Do you think this is a good idea or no? (Please explain your answer)

Role-playing game, right? I am not very familiar with role-playing games in forums. However, from what I have seen and heard this far, role-playing games need many active and dedicated players to provide a decent part of story to make it an interesting game. The activity rate does not seem that high at the forum. I believe at least you can create a thread about this topic and see if the current members give any responses. Meanwhile you can also make an experiment by creating a game thread at 'Forum Games' section, for example, and see members' responses for this. If the members are interested, I would say go for it. It is a nice additional element to writing-related forums.

I've added a V. I. P. membership to the forum. If you were running the forum, what kind of extras or specials would you give to members who become a V. I. P.?

For writing-related forums, I guess it can be rather tricky. Perhaps a greater chance to participate in contests or activities in which they can get items or information related to specific titles or series. For example, if there is a plan of doing one contest for regular member per year, V.I.P members will have one additional contest only for them. The items offered can be a merchandise related to a series he/she likes, ticket to author's interview if there is any, or even a free book if you can afford one. Besides that, I see the forum has a shop. A discount for items listed there for special members can be a good offer.
