How to start a forum

[Triggerhappy]

Ive just started a new forum, got all the mods and skins on it, but how on earth do you people get so many members so fast, or are these people that say they have 50 members in a week talking ---- I just cant see how to get the forum off the ground.

Please any tips would be very helpful.

try submitting your site to search engines,forums take time to get members,and i'm sure your board will take off,it looks great well done good job

Thanks very much :)

Most gaming websites are black everywhere and usually pretty ugly, i do like the black forums but only when its tastefully done, most arnt. Ill be the first to admit its not the worlds most advanced skin but my thinking is its what people know and should be easy to pick up.
