Have Brainstorming Competetions: A selected amount of people will compete in a competetion. People will compete with one another. The person that gains the most votes wins in the end. BrainReactions.net will provide the brainstorm questions to work with. This idea would make coming up with ideas as a game to compete with other people.

Have a "WIDGET" people can download, which people can put on their desktop and use to brainstorm ideas from their desktop. This would be a nice feature for lazy folks that don't like to brainstorm through a browser on the internet.

Does the presence of a voting system inhibit the adding of outlandish thought experiments and "wacky" ideas? Maybe when we add ideas we could be given the option to have the idea displayed without a voting box? Or votes could be given for "zanyness" of thought experiments?

Organise another live brainstorm, but this time choose a "sleeper" challenge from this site -- one that has received few answers and hasn't been active for a while. It could add to the challenge if the question were one that wouldn't be recognised as a "traditional" brainstorming challenge (just to test our creativity!)

Have an "options box" on each brainstorm which aims to attract different kinds of suggestions and ideas. The possibilities include: most outrageous suggestions. Ideas/possibilities if money were no object. Ideas/possibilities that would cost very little. Also there could be an option to reword the original topic or suggest different tangents. For example: "How could we regularly attract new people to the brainstorming tool?" etc. There could also be anonymous comments.
