I love the idea of a referral contest! Thanks so much for doing something like this!

May I suggest a couple stipulations on the new person's posts? I would personally want to see rules such as the posts may not be in the forum games section, and the posts may not be necros of ancient threads that do not add any value (ie, "Yeah me too" on a 6-month-dead thread).

I know that having rules like those might make it harder to reach 15 posts, but there are plenty of active or semi-active threads around to actually chat in, and chatting with people would be so much more valuable in making the new person stay. We could easily point them in the right direction of the more active threads if they need help.

You don't have to do what I suggest, I just think it might help encourage the person to stay more long-term. ^.^
