Benign was very helpful, he looked at my forum in detail and guided me through the ways of improving it.
This included improving the structure, the look and the posts, which resulted in optimising the forum activity.

I am sure that this will help increase our traffic and most importantly increase our returning visitors.

Small part of our convo:
Benign: I also noticed that your Visitor Downloads are primarily your "own" uploads as the entire forum is open to guests?

SJshah: yes, the visitors downloads forum is for uploads with our url in the links

Benign: Why not present it as such? Official uploads, by trusted Hotfile-Zone members. Conveys a sense of trust, they know what they are downloading is clean and functioning. Plus, at that point, they feel a sense of debt to Hotfile-Zone. They want to give back, either by contributing financially or visiting more often.

SJshah: Thats genius!
Thanks m8, it was a great help! Recommended.
