Well I can't get to your forum...
Signatures are a wonderful way to advertise...
Like the link in your signature does not work would be a start.

I would compliment more, but until I have a correct link, I can't view your site.
 
As you get members it will attract more. Getting your first few is the hardest.

Secondly promote as much as you can... Last week i spent about i would say 20 - 22 hours promoting this forum over the course of he week on forums, topsites, directories and search engines.
 
I've discovered quite a few advertising forums while I've been promoting my forum and I find them to be incredibly useful (much like this one!). If you're interested in the links I could always PM them to you - just give me a shout!

Also, submitting your site to Top Sites list can work really well - Again, if you want some links I will PM them to you if you let me know 🙂
 
I'd suggest maybe you have some very exciting offer. You know, awards or something for members. Attract them with games. Maybe when you advertise, try to sound mysterious. Reveal some, but not all, then people will just be downright curious to check it out.
 
I think the most important thing is getting out there and getting your forum promoted and advertised.

Try a banner exchange with other forums.

Try a webring

Definately agree with this..... theres lots of people to help with banners (mine was done for me)

and lots of perseverance, patience and hard work
 
You could sign up for a banner exchange like Skivnet which i use and is working quite good and you add a code to your forum and upload your banner and your banner gets shown on loads of other forums.
 
Is Skivnet for any forum regardless of subject theme?? If so I may give it a try
 
Try making contest and instead pointing new members to your index page, tell about your contest instead when advertising. That had work amazingly well in 1 of the old forum I use to be a member of.
 
You should try and sign up for a post exchange with other forum administrators. That's a good way to get some content on the forum and also make the forum attractive to guests since it will look like an active forum.
 
Yeah, I submit to every single active advertising forum I can find and put up an advertising siggy. You just have to be willing to advertise!
 
post exchange are good way to have more members, and telling your friends and family are good ways to promote your forum.
 
I believe that you've made the right start to get more members by simply posting in this forum. Best of luck.

Just because you have only a small number of regular posters, doesn't mean your forum sucks. I'm a member of a pagan forum with 796 members and only a dozen of us post regularly. Some people join and post regularly for a while then vanish. It's the nature of the beast, I think. Pretty much all of the forums I belong to are like that. Don't judge whether or not your forum sucks by your membership alone.
