...people have up to now decided to register at ESReality.com!

Not bad but this number is misleading. If you check out the users list you'll see that only about 500 people have made more than 100 posts. That's a mere 3% of people who are really active on the site.

Looks like most people lose interest in continuous contribution very fast or don't find a lot worth talking about.

Here's an idea: What about a weekly ESR discussion with a topic of the extensive gaming scene e.g. some piece of hardware (mouse, headset, TFT), software (level editor, chat-program, server-browser) or about a game like the new Halo; Other things that aren't directly connected to gaming would be for example networks or barebone-systems.

Perhaps 2 or 3 admins who are interested could decide on the weekly topic and moderate the following discussion thread by keeping it clean, bringing up different viewpoints or even organizing people with deeper knowledge of the current topic (like inviting a journalist of a monitor testing site to write stuff).

Feedback plz :-)
