How about setting up some more forums? Eg for the most popular PC games. Maybe one for non-pc games such as Xbox/PS2?
Start some threads yourself to give people something to read and think about replying to. Just a few friendly suggestions Darren. |

Ok, thanks. But I've heard that you don't want to make too many forums because then its more obvious that there are no threads.
Thanks for your feedback. Maybe you could possibly sign up and post? |

Don't make an enormous amount of forums, but make enough forums so that users have something to post in. It goes without saying you are probably not going to fill up the forums with posts in a single day, but given time, they will start to come to .
I would also suggest making it pleasent for all members and visitors that come to your board. The nicer looking your board is, the more they are going to remember your forum over that of someone elses. If you are not too good with graphics design (in which some people are not, nothing wrong with that), I would suggest maybe installing some additional style sets for them to choose from. I myself am one that likes a selection, when possible, I would try to give my members the same opportunities I would like. I have a few style sets you can download and customize to your liking at BBAddons (see link below): http://www.bbaddons.com/vb/pafiledb....=category&id=1 Good luck with your website and your forum - SaintDog |

Well I did a search for *Top Site Lists* and joined a bunch of those types of things. You have to vote to keep your banner up on them but doing this I got alot of members that way

Advertise wherever you go...
But not blaitently... Just have a link in your sig, and people will take a look... ~*Julie*~'s site just got a visit from me, because I noticed a link in her sig... The fact that you have to be logged in to view the board turned me away, but it looked fairly nice... Satan |

advertise to anyone u can, i got around 100 members just by advertising on my IM devices, and a few others on other forums i visit, just joining someone elses forums and advertising is wrong though, so advertise on a forum which you will continue to post on

I got my first 100 members by holding a referal contest. The first member to refer 20 other members wins a item you choose to give away. Worked very well for and rather quickly.

Also, setting up a sort of allie system between fellow sites. You can see this alot in the anime community, you may know this as affiliation, not only does this help you get your site out to people, this is a good chance to get the visitors to come to your site, and to impress them. |

But how many are active members? I think the 'quality' (for lack of better term) of the member is more important than the quantity of members. What good is a million registered members when only twenty post? :disappointed: |
