    Add site to social bookmarks. I would join forums related to your sites topic and add url in signatures if allowed.

    i believe that will be really a one great task but what is the best thing for you to do first is that start from the basics such as submissions, link building, ads, blogs and make your keywords rank... those are just some ways of making your forum known...

    good luck who knows you will bit Digital Point in time...

    you can work on the site so that people come back, once they like it they will tell people, start by lowering the size on the big images and filling the forum out with posts.

    also with the posts this will make content and this will make traffic, talk about things that are good for traffic ei. related keywords for lower hits and ranks

    Well the first thing would be to make a nice sig on DP and other forums. You will get clicks if your sig is unique like mine :D

    Yes, the problem would be getting content and members. I think the best way is to get a few core members either by making them admins or something. With this group of core members, at least your forum won't be that empty and it looks active. If it looks active, more people would be willing to join your forum.

    Anyway, I have 3 failed forums. It ain't easy. You need to be the most active person on your forum.
