I Think I have hit on a niche area for my forum, how do I get more people to join?

    I really do believe in my forum, it's not been on line for long, but things have gone a bit quiet.

    Most of my members are people from my work place, and I really would like people from other work places to join.

    I set my forum up for people to discuss work related issues, and has been very well received by people I work with.

    Recently changed to Bulletin from YaBB, and lost quite a few users during the switch, most have rejoined though.

    Could you give any ideas on how to take this forward from here?

    Thanks.:)

    Seems your forum is not that busy yet - so you should maybe hire some forum posting service, to make it look more active and also more attractive to join.
