I can even barely handle running a few articles a week on NFTU at this point.
In a sense, you have to kind of see working on building the forum as though from scratch. Many of those old people may never come back, but many remember that Euphrosynos was very quiet for a long while, and then it got covered with advertising, and then got cleaned up. What I can tell you from experience is that the way interest is generated as well as better search engine ranking is through more and newer topics and content. I must admit I was impressed to behold that most of the forum sections are now fairly active, so this is a good thing because the more forums are active, the more people will come to them.
As I have mentioned before, I have some philosophical differences with certain aspects of the Cafe (that said, they were apparently planned for a couple of years, and were simply a difference of philosophy on forum administration) but I do support the growth of the Cafe and I believe that all traditional and True Orthodox sites and fora ultimately have very similar goals.
Good luck! You have the right idea with bringing the threads back, and you should also make new ones.
