any cheaper sites out there?

A true custom skin will cost you alot more than $60. ( More like a couple to a few hundred) You can get skins for vb off of a few sites for a little as $29, but I personally dont consider them "custom".

Advertise, Ardvertise & Advertise. Join numerous sites and if they allow signatures place a link to your site there.

Offer something that people will want. Like weekly or monthly give-aways, or something..

Have your site topic something you are passionate about. Your enthusiasum will show and it will generate interest.

Even when no-one is posting make it a point to post 1 or 2 posts EVERYDAY. Just because people arnt posting doesnt mean they arnt visiting. If they see no activity, they will just leave without posting themselves..

1 yr for a forum is still very young.

There is always going to be instances of inactivity. Remember, as the weather gets nicer, people go outside..
