I know, I was being facetious. It's not very clear cut, but I've always found that having a "core userbase" to start with is a lot easier than starting from scratch with only a small handful of members (1 or 2, perhaps). Developing content when you're basically the only poster is like talking to yourself in a mirror.

My only advice is to start with the basics - find a number of people who are interested in the topic of your forum, and get them to sign up and post. If you absolutely have to, pay someone to post on your forum, just to get the ball rolling, and don't forget to submit your site to google.
