First of all, THANK YOU for your hard work! It really is appreciated!
I see why people don't like all the unfilled prompts, but I think too many limits on prompts makes it harder for writers to find something that inspires them; maybe for the small fandom issue, still have a limit of 4 or 5 prompts per person, but no more than 1 prompt per fandom? That way, more diversity of prompts, but no added problem of not enough prompts to choose from.
I know that it is hard with all the old prompts, but I really like being able to have prompts from longer than 6 months ago, so I respectfully disagree with that suggestion.
I also second the suggestions made by others: to have a 'retro' day where people can reprompt old unfilled prompts, and the idea of a contest for whoever fills the most prompts to get to choose the theme. Maybe even have a week where whoever gets the most prompts filled by midnight PST gets to choose the theme for the next day, and so on and so forth all week (with a rule against the same person winning twice in a row).
Also, maybe during the contests, someone could get a free "fic" if they pimp in their lj or on a comm with one of the banners - so if they wrote 5 fics and pimped, it would count as six fics, e.g. It seems like pimpage has more to do with comm activity it than comm policies from my admittedly limited knowledge.
