Make list of good forum site and add your forum on that list and post in blogs and promote in search engine. There are many site for off page resources you can submit your forum there and the best way to make your forum popular do regular activity on forums related to any industry and tell about your forum there. If anyone posted thread on your forum than try to reply the best answers.
