I started my forums a couple weeks ago, but my forums are growing very slowly. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for building forums, and attracting new members that will make posts. Anyone? Note: I am patient, and if it is just time that is needed. Then I'm fine with that.
What type of forum do you run? Have you read the article on How to run a successful forum: Getting Members and Posts? I'm sure it can help you.
Fake members / creating conversations is great because when someone who isn't a member arrives and sees a conversation they'd like to chime in on they're that much more likely to register.
