Since I started this forum site, I started reading more and more about the difficulties that one might face when trying to make the forum a busy place. It looks like a difficult concept and I am facing long, long journey.

If you have some ideas how to help me get this forum going, post them in this thread.

For the best idea, I am offering home page link on my PR 4 web directory.

When will this offer end? How long or how many ideas are you planning to collect?

This type of competions help to kickstart anyforum, but first of all you need genuine visitors and posters.
One idea I would recommend is to create fake users and pretend you have heated up exchange of opinions or posts. This is just to get other users involved and make this forum look like a busy place.

Spread the news that you found a way how to place a home page link on Google.

This might crash the server...

I can offer my advice if the offer is still available, please me me
