One helpful idea that might get some traffic to the Writer's Section could be an idea swapping thread. Put simply someone posts a scene/idea they are trying to flesh out and other writers respond to it with some feedback or ideas. In return they the leave their own question and are given some ideas back. Basically you get feedback and you give feedback in return.
A sticky thread might be an idea for this one and hopefully it might spark some renewed interest and dialogue between fellow writers.
