Yep, my first forum took 3 years to gain 100 members and 10,000 posts. But, we're now the 2nd most popular forum in our niche. My second forum, which I started in late Feb, took less than 2 months to get there. It's pretty depressing when you have an empty forum, tried everything, and still nothing comes to fruition. I've been there, it's not a good feeling.
