Where would be the best place to advertise this?

[Undoxable]

So I have a forum that has already about 5000 members and about 30000 posts but the activity has been dying out and I need to get it back up again.

I probably need to start advertising all over again.

Where would be the best place to advertise it? I don't want to advertise it here because I don't want this kind of userbase as I want a more funny and silly userbase that are not all about being HQ.

I already have great seo and am leading in keywords such as "webmaster forum" as I am on page #2. But I probably need to do some manual advertising.
where would be the best place to do so?

I do have to say that our userbase isn't all serious and HQ, there are actually a lot of funny and cool people here. 😛 Anyway, if you're looking to reach out to webmasters, I'd look into trying to partner with free forum hosts, and maybe try signature advertising on younger forums.

You can try:

-affiliating with forums of the same niche as yours.

-Taking part in post exchanges to get new posts/threads whilst returning the favor to the other member participating. 5/5, 10/10 (threads and/or posts) and who knows, they may end up staying and becoming an active member!

-ordering posting packages to generate new content to improve forum activity in the short term.
