Give Awards / Link To Trophy System
What is it?
Need an incentive to increase forum activity?
Make your forum more fun for your users, let them show off how active/engaged they are.
The more fun your forum is, the more your users will want to keep coming back for more.
No one likes a boring forum.
Don't want to give out the awards yourself?
No problem, users can request or recommend awards for others.
Want to automate the process altogether?
Simply link awards to XF2's trophy system, and it'll take care of the rest.
