    Hi, I'm in real trouble. I tried my best on trying to advertise and no one is joining my forums! (or visiting) Can anyone please give me some recommendations to a working advertising method?

    Well, you can post a link for first. Then you must know that's pretty hard to get members flocking to a new forum. Try paying for some posts and try getting good links from related sites. Maybe paying for recommendation, but keep in mind that no one will join a forum which has only a couple of posts and 2 members. Maybe that's not your case, but you get my point.

    And, besides all that, try to bring some interesting content, maybe some articles on your targeted subject. Make people come to an interesting website, not just to a forum [ANOTHER forum..].. Good luck! ;)

    nobody will join or post to an totaly empty forum. start a few postings by yourself (create ~5 different usernames for you). i would go to an article directory, pic a topic like "how can i purchase more than just on doomsday device per household?" and you place this question as "Dr. Evil" in your forum and your other nick "MiniMe" posts an reply a few hours later saying the same like in the article directory but with your own words.
    or just pay people to write some posts :)

    OMG, not Times again!! I'm blind! :D Arial, go with Arial.. ;)

    And YOU HAVE TO ALLOW people to see what's inside the forum them needing to register first... That's if you want new registrations..

    Your site is sort of dark and uninviting, and private too, meaning google can't see the posts.
