How to inspire visitors to make the first post?

Maybe because my forum is small, our members do actually read everyone’s bios. Several are into photography and they eventually created a topic just for that. Another is into sailing and many conversations have and still are made about that and even boat repairs. We have a couple who are into geology (one a USGS geologist) and there’s two topics pertaining to that. Maybe our forum has a different member makeup, but members filling out their bios works wonders for us… making everyone feel a little “closer” to one another. It “breaks the ice” as a conversation starter.
