Forum Desciptions and Content

What's the best way of finding someone to help the admin with forum descriptions and posting content without paying? I have a site that generates a lot of hits but lurkers are not joining. I gave guests permission to comment, view pictures, and reply to topics without requiring registration but still nothing. I am extremely disappointed. Need advise...

Thank you in advance,

SilentSpic

Personally I would turn off the ability for lurkers to see the pictures, etc. Why would they register if they are getting everything anyways? Instead the non members should be allowed to see thread titles, etc. But when they click in, instead of the pictures they should get a message that they are not members and only members have access to the pictures and more.

Give them a reason to sign up. That to me is the problem right now.

Well only contents aint going to start discussions automatically, start discussions by creating dummy accounts, and once people start participating they will automatically get in the habit of starting new discussions.
