I run a gaming community, i get members from gaming, we have around 50 active members. Although the only game is modern warfare, 50 aint bad for one game. In order to keep the community growing it will have to grow into more games, i.e. medal of honor and the new call of duty. When i set up shop in them games and start a clan in each the numbers will add up and i can see it be in the hundreds. I wont be losing sleep as it just takes me to pull my finger out and play the game.

Although i must say i did not do this alone. Infact i dont even play modern warfare anymore, i devised a council of twelve to handle most things, the webiste can run itself for the most part all i need to do is handle the maintenance. Although when medal of honor is released my interest will rise, and the daunting task of recruting members wont seem so daunting because i will enjoy the game.

So i guess my technique is interest, members join based on interest, interest in the playstation 3, interest in modern warfare 2. The leaders run it based on interest, interest in running a clan and taking over the gaming world. I would say another key factor is attention to detail, i have payed alot of attention to deatil with my site and edited alot of templates, i guess because i have OCD but im sure members like it too.. Interest alone should sign them up but if the viewing experience is not their members wont commit.. Make your community a nice place to make a home and new members wont turn derserters.

If i may ask who is your target audience?
