I appreciate the time it takes to setup but you have far to many subforums for the little traffic you currently have. I know you hope to 'grow into it' but I think that would happen faster if many of your topics were combined... you should probably only have 3 or 4 forums... split them later after traffic increases.

Upon revisiting the site it did take an exceptionally long time to load, all I got was the header... during this time the browser said it was waiting on www.google.com. Usually scripts such as google analytics would go at the bottom of the footer so they are last to load... I don't know off-hand why your board is contacting google but I would suggest moving any code to the footer if possible.

I guess i never noticed how long it took. I recently added a Meta tag to the header which was part of adding my site to google. Could that be why it is taking so long?

If your Meta tags are just a few words, maybe a paragraph for a description, then no, it's very unlikely meta tags would affect performance, they are just plain text.

its only about a sentence, so Im guessing thats not the culprit. Are there any tips to help drive traffic to the site. I have heard about being able to buy traffic, but I dont see that as being legit. Any suggestions?

I personally would never 'buy' traffic... I would suggest doing some search engine optimization and then provide content that people search for... I always get some traffic from mentions of popular tv shows "how is 24 going to end?" was a big one lately... also decent traffic to common computer issues if you know anything or anyone who can answer questions... of course it doesn't hurt to post the site in any places like this that welcome links to new sites- there are probably a dozen forums for admins out there all which have a thread to list a site.
