One way we might be able to drive more traffic from facebook to the forum is to not only post articles/videos/etc from shaolin.org, but also point people who want to discuss/comment on post to the relevant thread in the forum. Some will still just comment in facebook, and that's fine, but we can still generally guide the discussion to the forum by gentle redirection. For instance, if someone makes an interesting point in a facebook comment, we can choose to quote it and discuss it further in the forum thread while also responding in facebook with something like, "That's an interesting point that has generated further discussion in our forum. Check it out: <link to forum thread/post>".
We could do the same for articles posted on other Wahnam (or non-Wahnam) websites, using facebook to build awareness but housing the discussion in the forum.
Additionally, we could promote interesting forum threads and posts directly in facebook with a little teaser/excerpt that causes readers to want to follow the link and read (and hopefully comment on) the thread. (This could be a good reason to use the forum's "share" feature.)
