It is good to encourage everyone sharing useful information?

Well, good idea to get members to be active so that they win on teach of that month. Should give it ago for 5 months and if it doesn't work then at least you gave that an shot

It can be, but you may want to have a somewhat active community before offering up a promotion like this, and it'll give your forum a nice boost.

It might get some people to join the forum and participate in it. In that case, it would be worth it, and some of the participants might choose to hang around once the money is gone.

Incentivizing post counts is always a terrible idea, because you're putting emphasis on quantity over quality, which rapidly drives down the value of the community both as a resource and as a social network.
