Welcome to etalk.

[ruffeh]

i have to agree with whoever said specialize and work your way up

u can increase alot of members by the following methods

right now u got music, games, movies, gfx i belive

cut that down and specialize in the ones your most knowledgable/comfortable with or have the resources to create unique content

for example if your doing movies have sections where people can request or share links from people that use p2p software, torrents etc also add new releases that have come out and reviews to go with them

get some people with free time who can write new articles for you

i would remove that big area at the top saying register its free!
and instead put something like a big news article or feature..something
controversial? that will make visitors go "hmm what the hell is this?" and they will sign up to find out and comment about it

u just need to stick out from the rest of the crowd basically
