    I have been trying to promote my forums for a while now... and I am having trouble getting people to post on the forums.

    http://www.gabbr.com/forum.php

    I am looking to get some advice and get people posting on my forums... I dont know how to attract people.. any ideas? can people start posting there?

    can someone help a noob out?

    IMO you should start attracting members for your forum. You can add contest and give freebies.
    GOod Luck.... :)

    Set up a budget and hire paid posters... seems to be the only way to get a forum started now, since they are already thousands of them.

    I never stay on a board that only has a few posts, no matter how interesting it might look

    One thing I've seen is the forum owners inviting people they know from other forums.
