Default how to get people to join my political forum
How do you guys get people to join your forum?

I've just started a political forum and am trying to get people to join, but it's really hard.

Any advice or suggestions?

Top lists are good and all, but they wont do JACK if you don't build content.

- choose a specific topic/group/area
- create hot topics for this group
- change the style .. the current style is boring and does not scream "politics"
- get a new logo

Let the site grow... when the time comes you can concentrate on other areas of politics.

Create topics in gay rights, abortion, telling people the holocaust wasn't real, um.... womens rights, affirmative action, immigration, IRAQ, IRAQ, IRAQ, IRAN, IRAQ, IRAQ, President Bush, President Cliton, Liberals, Democrats, Republicans, Global Warming, Global Cooling, Corp Greed, and why Communism and Socialist are trying to over take America and .. IRAQ.

Did I mention IRAQ?

Tell people how the jew's control everything and we should all convert to islam and hug a terrorist.
