I advertise in a few ways. I have written several articles and submitted them to digg, stumble, and other such sites. They have gotten as many as 300+ visits on the first digg. I added the site to my signature on the forums I am active on, and even have a small adwords campaign. I did the standard initial run through link and RSS directories. If you have any other suggestions I'd like to hear them. The problem I believe is the biggest one is that the common user when they have a problem is more likely to ask a friend/family or call their ISP and not go looking for an internet forum. The more technical members and server administrators are most likely to stick around I'd think. It will be interesting to see in what direction the members lead the site.
