followed by adding more thread prefixes for thread-starters to select:

("Thread Prefixes can be used to further identify your thread as containing a particular content in the forum. If your administrator has enabled these, you will see a box before the title box which contains a menu with the available prefixes for you to choose from.")
This is based on my philosophy that simplicity is the best policy. :o
In addition, to be fair to more (preferably all, but at least as many as possible) thread-starting members, the number of threads per Courtyard page should be increased to at least 50 (yes, fifty), so as to increase the chances for every new thread started within the past 24 hours everyday to remain on the Courtyard's first page for at least 24 hours after the thread was started, something like:
sbfsg.net/forumdisplay.php?f=27 ("Coffee Shop Talk of a non sexual Nature")
And of course, threads about exactly the same issue (especially news articles) should always be merged as soon as possible.
Hopefully, this will encourage more unique real-life human beings (whether they are existing or new members) to start threads and post.
Also, it seems to me that only Leongsam and zhihau are actively moderating the forum (and even then, it doesn't seem active enough), so it might be too stressful for them.
If that's the case, may I suggest promoting both:
sammyboy.com/member.php?1775-eatshitndie
and:
sammyboy.com/member.php?977-jw5
to Moderator status, simply because they seem to be active enough (obviously because they are still in good health and interested enough in this forum), experienced enough (they have been active members since this forum started in 2008) and mature enough (in my opinion, of course :o) to do a good job.
