2 weeks got nine members. I say that's a pretty good result.

if you keep growing in that rate, you will have about 250 members in a year.

The best thing you could do is bring your friends and get them to bring their friends. Recruit! I opened my site 3 days ago and am already at 110 members with over 1000 posts.

It takes time for people to come. It's not "instant" as you would like.

Word of mouth is often the best way... so as EnIgMa1234 said: tell as many people as you can to join and get them to tell as many people as they can. Advertisement is key too, I recommend finding sites that are similar to your own (or in the same market) and try to set up links and affiliates with these sites. What forum do you own?
