Okay this thread has been inactive for a while, but I have some thoughts on how the board can be revived, so I thought of posting here itself without starting a new thread about the same topic when it already exists. I've been scouring this local board in the last month in which I joined, and I think I might have some ideas that might be helpful.

1. Firstly, I completely agree with the others that a mod needs to be assigned to this local board. This needs to be someone who is a merit source ideally, as that would help with new users getting recognition and they will be rewarded for making actually constructive posts.

2. I see that @Heisenberg_Hunter organizes monthly raffles to incentivize activity within this board. Instead of this being a "lucky number raffle", you can try to incentivize constructive posting within this community (and maybe even in the global topics, but atleast X posts mandatory in the local board) somehow. It could be by posting useful news, writing constructive help posts for beginners and troubleshooting information, basically to stop shitposting and reduce people's dependence on bounties. You could reward the most "helpful user of the month"/"best new member" with a few merits for their best posts, and also a small amount of bitcoin. This would be for maybe Newbies - Members, and would take place bi-monthly, and the normal lucky raffles can take place in the alternate months. I think this would greatly improve post quality and activity here.

Basically, what I find that, as signature campaigns do not count local board posts, that just seems like a waste to most people, who think that this is a money making machine kind of a place. This mindset needs to be stopped, so that's why I think organizing bi-monthly contests like these will help and encourage new users.
