For the point system, each activity that the member does on the site should earn them some points, then they can use the points to buy gifts, use advanced site features and more.
This would increase user activity. For example, if you tell members they earn points for each blog or forum post then they would be more active and increase your site content.
Excellent idea, i totally agree with this. There should be features which encourage more interactivity and members staying online longer. In addition to iclicku suggestion which i think is an good idea is a "Points System" below is what i think it could work:
Virtual Gifts(Points System)
1. Members would earn Points by being on the site regular(frequency) or some other way
2. There should be a Database of virtual Gifts for members to purchase with these points earned. These gifts can be little gagets, flowers etc.
3. ADMIN can set the points value of each Gift
3. Members can now send these Gifts to other members.
Online Games
There should be a collection of online games members can choose and play with each other OR one good online game such as DOMINOES which is international game and can be played by four(4) members at a time.
