One way is to remove access to all forums except that one (with permissions set to not able to reply to existing threads) and then promote them to a user group with full access once they have posted.

Awesome idea - exactly what I was looking for. Is there any functionality for the onboarding process as well. ie. are there settings so that users will automatically be redirected to a forum upon signup as well in order to improve interaction above just telling people to go there?

You could use a Notice with instructions and even a create thread link, which is displayed to that user group only.
