For example, when I first became a member, I only used the news and downloads section; and sometimes I said thanks for the download. I had never been on a board before, and didn't like participating. I was a new fan, and only joined because it was the only place that I knew of at the time where I could find her music and information about her. I had no desire to talk about her yet, because I didn't know if I liked her enough or not.

I guess, in a nutshell: if you're a new fan, you might just want to try her music, not discuss. That's rather discouraging and might actually push you away from becoming an Ayu fan if you can't find a place to try out her music.

I guess that's just one flaw that I can see with making a posting limit before being able to download. As to what else to do, I'm still at a loss. :/
Hm, I understand your point, but right now looking at the members list, I can't even count more than 20 members with over 10 posts by going back 10 pages.
Maybe some members are just shy and only lurking around for the downloads, so by setting up a posting limit before they can enter the download threads, hopefully it might encourage those member to post and be more active on this forum.
