    i think the forum will promote itself with the topics inside it.
    the more topics with SEO WORDS the more traffic you have and the more member you get

    Gaming forum is nice. Check your competition with the keywords you are targeting and also make sure that you have sufficient marketing budget to start with, cause there are several hundreds of forums lying out there waiting for their domain expiration date to come and doing nothing.

    Youtube videos, forum posting and buying advertising space on other gaming forums/websites.

    You should learn SEO. Proper optimization can get traffic to ANY site

    If you are going with a gaming forum, you should narrow the niche down a little or make this gaming forum like none of the other ones.

    Also like they said, check SEO

    You can also make a facebook group. There are also some other sites like this where, when you get enough posts, you can advertise your forum.

    A gaming forum with great SEO work done to it will promote itself and will have a great amount of hits.. What type of gaming forum would you like to developed? Will it mainly focus on one console or multiple games / consoles? Also think of some programs / ways you can get your viewers / members to be able to spread the word and advertise.

    Don't forget about the website farms, website directories and such websites..., forum postings and don't forget about vimeo and the other video websites, if in your country you have a local video sharing website it is good choice too :) , for example in my country we have plenty local video sharing websites.
