I've been doing this forum thing for 18 years now and developing websites in their various forms since 1991. I have yet to see any concrete evidence of advertising working unless a site is so niche specific that it has no established competition.

Thanks for the insight.

Any pointers to establish a more fluid, growing community?

Site looks good and clean. I like the color you used for your forum.

Just a thing needs to improve on your forum is, you need to have more members join and posting on it. That's will help it to look better.

Well that therein lies the problem. How to generate extra registrations and have them post?
