UNLESS you offer something unique.

If your site is "just another forum" it will always be "just another forum".

Come up with an idea... browse the competition. see what they don't have, and build on that.

Me, I started a reference materials section. no other site in my competition had that. It worked.

Agreed^^^ Offer your members something else no one has to offer. They'll come if you're the only one that has it and there is a need.
