I'm actually amazed at your active members in relation to the post count.

Nice colours.

That's what I had initially thought. My second guess would have been that you've recently pruned your posts/forums. The fact that you've managed to gain that many members in a short amount of time you either have some pull or a good marketing/PR strategy. Whatever you're doing is working.

May I suggest that at some point you can list some tips for members here who are looking for ways to increase their community population.

Advertise on other sites (its better if you have other sites of your own running).

And if you have a general community running use myspace to your advantage.

One thing i need to do is give my members a walk through, alot of them are forum virgins (I havent added a nice walkthrough after they register... Its needed.)

Hehe...Not to put you on the spot or anything.

I've just noticed recently there have been many discussions of members asking how to increase their community size. So I'd thought of posting on their behalf.

Advertising on MySpace is a good strategy for an open community forum. Maybe you can post a new thread in the Tips forum.

For mine I pruned more than 2/3 of posts and tons of forums. I've also removed registries. For a gaming clan, however, I think having 2,429 registries (after pruning) is not bad; we've been up since 2000 (forum up since ending of 2001). Most of our registries were from word of mouth.

Word of mouth is very good, also another good way would be investing on scripts like these guys:

I bought 4 of them, and integrated them into VB, so when it emails the contact list it looks like a professional invite. (also uses referal link)

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
