IP.Board is one of the largest community forum software’s to date. This plugin we’ve created allows you to facilitate and run posting contests on your forums. The entire process of keeping track and calculating points is all done automatically in real-time.
Hosting posting contests can help you boost traffic, foster the creation of fresh and high-quality content, and provide incentives for your users.
