It's not illegal at all lol. You keep asking this, submit a sitemap to google. Find a bunch of pot smoker blogs and your competitors and post your links in their blogs with a snippet of your biggest article. Create a landing page with a new article at least every other day.
you can publicize your forum just like any other website. I wrote a thread which contains huge number of tips which help you generate huge traffic. I am sure you will love it. Do leave your tips and comments.. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=645533
Almond - the other thread, imo, didn't have any solutions which fit my needs. Is it wrong to ask for advice more than once? I thought that was the point of this website and specifically this forum? So I wanted a clean thread, problem?
