I Need Help Getting Members
 

What do you guys think would help get members for my forum? I was grounded for about two months and my computer was broken and now I'm working on my site once again.

What could I do so more people, more people notice the site?

i have been in a crushed situation before and it makes me so stress full ,

but im not hopeless and im still keep moving on,and try it again for the second times.
and the result is : MY SITE GROWING UP AND GETTING BETTER UNTIL NOW.
just believe that u can do that.it brings u a successfull. :up:

You need new content everyday.
You need a reason for someone to visit your site and enlighten themselfs.

It depends what you have to attract people. New content is one thing, but all mine comes from the members. Go to other forums which have similar interests, or perhaps overlapping interests, and either join in there with a link in your signature (if allowed) and post often, or just respectfully ask for a link exchange.

Whatever you do, do not do what a guy did while trying to copy my main place. He contacted me with a 'business proposition' - I did a little googling and found his place. It was a direct copy of mine, including copy and paste site rules and forum layout (a few minor differences here or there). He was also offering a hundred dollars to the best poster every month. I check there every so often - he gets maybe a dozen posts a month and he doesn't post himself.

It takes time to build up a membership - sometimes years. Patience and interaction is required. Stick with it.
