I was thinking of some sort of D2 Sector clan myself.. lol
Organize a legit clan for each ladder (West/East/Europe) and find somebody to head each. Then recruit a few members to get each realm going, and around 5-10 members per realm, start putting up basic requirements. E.g. (x) posts per day, 100+ posts, etc.
Then once it starts to grow more, make the requirements more difficult or stop taking applications altogether. Make it invite only//closed. :p
Only issue is that could create spam, because users will try and meet the requirements to get in. Not to mention, it'd be hard to filter out the scammers etc.. (if there's to be any free stuff involved.)
I still say graphics contests wouldn't be a bad idea.. or arrange for some other contest/tournament and then have prizes. (A small amount of free webspace, d2 item(s), points, etc.)
Clan could help promote the site too though. (Not necessarily w/ spam etc.. but it'd attract a couple more people if there was an organized guild associated with the site, imo) That brings in more people, which creates more discussion, and more activity.
Like I said, new ladder season is going to create some commotion as well. Especially if they introduce new runewords or any other interesting changes.
