Welcome buddy! 😀

Research your competition and offer something on your site that your competition does not have.

Nice tips, but I don't completely agree with all::

Be Unique -
Not nessisarily - look at a lot of the new forums/promotion forums that come out. Many are almost a complete rip of various sites ideas yet they get members and can become active (If you need, PM me and I'll give you an example)

Discuss Hot Topics -
"Hot topics" Why not discuss things that other forums arn't discussing? Chances are if a new Apple IPod 8 comes out that almost every forum with a technology or off topic forum will be talking about it.

Create a Blog -
Why?

Send out Reminders -
Spam peoples Emails? Flood their PM boxes? Many find this a turn off.

I tend to agree with this, I only send out one e-mail a week, the rest I do through twitter, after they have opted to "follow" me
