I've also reached some agreements with a few smaller printer manufacturers to link to a forum here on our site for their brand of printer.

I plan to have contest in the coming weeks. I don't mind spending $100 or so on prizes. Any suggestions? I was simply thinking Amazon gift cards because they are easy to give out, and requires no shipping on my end.

Any ideas on what type of contest it can be? The point of the contest will be to get new members to sign up, post, and join our community.

Any other suggestions?

If you do anything, I would wait for 500 members, and then just do a random drawing or something. You could use a random number generator to give you a number from 1-500 and then the user with that id get's a prize.

Market it as "Be one of the first 500 members and enter to win!" or something cheezy like that.
