A few things that COULD (not necessarily will) help:
1) If you can elaborate on a past topic, it's better to do so than to create a new one. Even if this means taking a few minutes to find a topic that's a little old. Remember, if someone else could think of it, then someone probably has already.
2)If step 1 fails or something like that, thinks of something that's out of the ordinary, and would probably generate a good number of replies. Try to avoid "direct question" threads, as it's easier to e-mail the person instead of creating a thread just for them.
3)If 1 and 2 don't work or you want to create a topic that would be fairly common, make sure the topic is old enough to have been abandoned for a good amount of time.
4) If all else fails, run.
