1) Be actively online for 3+ hours/daily
- It shows members that you are dedicated to your forum
2) Make at LEAST 10 forum posts daily including topics
-Also shows that you're active
3) Resolve forum issues and user issues FAST!
-A lot of people like to get help and their questions answered fast
4) Act professional
-Quality posts & informative ( not just cool, keep it up, etc..)
5) Spelling counts! If you are NOT good at English hire a professional to do all your writing for you.
6) Promote, promote, promote!
7) Do not be disheartened if your forum doesn't take off over night.
- It takes time to
-- Find the right crowd
-- Develop steady content
-- Get your forum's name out there
8) Be unique
- Your forum needs to stand out and offer something different than the others

Well, useful tips. Another particular condition to be bear in mind is that building links are more of quality than quantity. You have to take care to generate more links form useful forums than posting at all the forums at will. You can plenty of backlinks with simple forum building.
