How to gain members and get them to post?

[Rick Sample]

We've been up for about 5-6 weeks now and have 131 registered users. However, my board may only get 3-5 posts per day and on some days even less. Someone is always on, but barely post.

I know if a lot members post and stuff, then when guests come in and see fresh posts with some members online, their more likely to join and post.

But when they come in and see "0" users online with posts from a few days ago, and stuff their more than likely not going to post anything.

I was just hopin you guys can give me some Ideals and tips on how to gain new members and how to get them to post. Or how you guys did and so on.

Our site has been up for nearly 5 weeks and we're getting anywhere from 150-200 unique visitors per day. So its not like we're getting 5 or 6 unique per day.

Any suggestions or help would be awsome and I will owe you big time! If someone can even help get me started I would be willing to do a little advertising for someone. Just a tought if you would like to give a lending hand
