) Make it easier for people to find threads that they can post in.
What I mean specifically by that is this:
If you are one of the older members of the board (20+?) you probably already realized this but if not here is what it is; if you are say a graphics designer, or RPer, by the time you have updated those things, done any requests etc and assuming you have a job and other responsibilities, you don't really have the time to join in on the TLK threads.
You probably took one look at some of them and saw pages of in depth character analysis, got scared and left the thread. But you would have time to post a few lines in a general chit chat thread about the film or something.
So how do you make it so these people can find threads more relevant to them? Well you add more sub forums into the TLK sections.
At the moment, you have a place to discuss TLK and ALL the threads go into that. Which has resulted in it becoming difficult to find threads you want to post in and stuff. Here's what I think you could have:
The Lion King
Behind The Scenes (thing revealed in making of and other documentaries, anything that went on during production basically)
Music
Characters
Theories and in depth discussion (this keeps the big scary posts in specific places, see?)
Movie Mistakes
TLK Videogames
The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride
Rinse and repeat
Feel free to add more to this, those are just a few examples to get a general idea of what I'm on about.
This makes those areas of the board more organized without having to archive all the threads. Makes it easier for people to post new threads in the correct places, helps people find threads more suited to them or to their available free time etc... You could even integrate TLK with other parts of the board by having, say, graphics threads IN the actual TLK sections rather than on their separate part of the forum. Just make it a sub forum within the TLK section instead.
And the thing is you could take this to any extent you want:
Why not give the fan fiction forum a kick up the butt by having specific places to post; action, romance, comedy etc... People can choose to read what they are in the mood for rather than lucky dipping.
It also gives the sections that need more activity more of a presence on the index and stuff.
Just saying, how do you get certain sections of the board to be more active? You expand them and integrate them with the rest of the board. This is just my idea on how I would go about doing that.
