Well we'd be happy with anything you could do, so long as it's not spam.
The best way to do it, I suppose, it to start with a comment. Example:

*The underlined part of the post is the comment. It's usually a reaction to something prior, and can be anything from "Lmfao" to a long and wordy opinion.
*The Struck-out part is somewhat optional, but helps. It's the question part. Its main purpose is to open up a way for someone to continue the conversation, usually the original poster of the thread. It can be a skeptical thought, or a theoretical thought. Skeptical can be like, "Do you really think that..." and a theoretical one can be like, "What do you think if..." or simply, "What if..".
This also works with replying to posts, but your initial thought is replaced by your response thought
There may be no more questions to ask. If so, try to find a new topic to discuss. If there is nothing to add on that you can think of in relation to that thread, go browse another thread and try to do something similar. If there are no threads that you can update (Like you've posted in all the ones that interest you, or nothing interests you), you can either make a new thread or stop posting for the day/for the next couple hours.
I'm not asking you guys to conform to some strict style of posting, but this is just some advice for people who have trouble thinking of what to say.
There, did that help? (<-- There's my question to help continue the conversation ;P)
