    Hi, I run a "Community admin resource" for community administrators

    It now has 294 members, however 95% of these are phpFoX owners

    Im sure by getting the word out too forum owners traffic would increase and so would membership levels..

    What tips would you share to get the word out to forum admins? :)

    I was thinking of creating a skin for vbulletin with a link or something :eek:

    Posting here should do the trick, I think.

    I'd say make sure you're offering something that the competition isn't, then get onto their forums and start genuinely participating. Make sure to have a link in your sig - if they don't allow direct competitors, create an innocuous site that eventually leads users to your forum through some freebie.
