Perhaps it could be possible for the moderators to make use of the live chat room?
Maybe we could set up specific times and dates during the week in which forum participants are encouraged to go to the live chat room for a live discussion on a particular topic?
Example:
-Monday 8:00pm West Coast, 11:00pm East Coast
-Topic: Debating the moral values of the Catholic Church
This discussion will take place in the Live Chat Room for about a half an hour.
