Whether you’re a World Tour veteran, rookie or have no idea what it’s all about — whatever position you are in, it is finally here.

Over forty-five legs, supported by round the clock Air Traffic Control ATC, the teams circumnavigate the globe arriving back in Sydney seven days later. And the best part? It’s all done on the IVAO Flight Simulation network which means that you too can join in the fun by connecting up your home Flight Simulator!

Create some starter topics. You can get the ball rolling by creating a few “starter topics.” One way to get people posting is by asking a controversial question. For example, if you have a political IVAO IVAP forum, you could ask, “Should George Bush be impeached?” This will get people to post because a lot of your visitors will have an opinion since this is an easily debatable topic.
Let guests create topics. A lot of IVAO IVAP forums on the Internet require visitors to register before they can post. This seems to discourage a fairly large percentage of people from posting. Some people feel that it’s not worth the hassle of registering just to post a simple question or comment. That’s why we recommend giving guests the ability to start topics on your IVAO IVAP forum… at least until your IVAO IVAP forum grows larger.
Link to your IVAO IVAP forum from every article. Most Adsense sites have a lot of articles on them. It’s a good idea to post a link at the end of every article that says, “Discuss this article in our IVAO IVAP forum!” Your visitor will be more willing to go to your IVAO IVAP forum since they are done reading the article any way.
Limit the number of categories your IVAO IVAP forum has. A common mistake I see a lot of people make when they first start their IVAO IVAP forum is they have too many categories. For example, your IVAO IVAP forum could have a “General Discussion” as well as an “Off Topic” category. If you have too many, and people only post in a couple of them, your entire IVAO IVAP forum will look like a ghost town! Once your IVAO IVAP forum becomes popular, start adding more categories if you feel like it needs them.
Start a poll. Most IVAO IVAP forums (such as phpBB) have the ability to start polls. We’ve noticed that even people who don’t like to post at all in IVAO IVAP forums will at least answer a poll to find out what the results are.
Create fake posts. Okay, this tip is a little controversial and not everyone feels comfortable doing it… but it is an effective way to make your IVAO IVAP forum look less “empty”. You can create a few posts with fake names in order to make your IVAO IVAP forum look more popular than it is. This seems to work well because people are more likely to post in a IVAO IVAP forum if they see other people doing it too.
Your highly optimized IVAO IVAP forum is a valuable thing! Remember, every time someone starts a topic, that’s a new HTML page that can be indexed by the search engines!
