    Ok, here's a few thoughts...

    "The World's Most Popular Homeopathic Forum"... is it though? Really?

    To be completly cynical, you lost me right there - it's a blatant lie as you only have a handful of posts. In the UK that would be considered false advertising, which is illegal.

    Even one of our biggest breweries says "*Probably* the best lager in the world" because they can't substantiate the claim that they are *actually* the best.

    So, my advice would be to get rid of that until such time as you really are the most popular and can prove it. Else you might just find other popular homeo forums challenging you in court.

    You want to engage trust in your visitors - else your information and postings is/are useless.

    Secondly, when starting a forum, you're in a catch 22 - you won't get traffic till you have posts and a community, and you can't get posts and a community without traffic. So, think about hiring a forum posting community to kick start the board. You can get hundreds of posts on your topic for $100 - ask around on DP for recommendations for a decent comnpany to engage.
