Not sure if this idea has been pitched yet, but I think it would be a great way to get to meet new faces and try to grow more familiar faces around the community. Every month, we can have a giveaway (CS:GO Skins?), and the ONLY qualifying participants have to meet the following criteria:
- Forum account must be less than 1 month old (verification needed to ensure it's legit)
- Must start an introduction thread in the "Introduce Yourself" section that isn't half-assed within the month
- Maybe enforce a minimum of 10 forum posts made within the month?
We can spread the word by adding a cfg to the servers to display a message about the giveaways. With Zombie Escape and Jail Break attracting LOTS of new faces on a daily basis, this will help retain and engage more players with the SteamGamers community.
Summer is coming, so now would be a great time to implement this!
