    Look like I have to register and logged in to review it.
    You need to start the forum with at least 1000 posts or so, do some posts exchange with other people who have new forums like your. You can also hire people to post for you. It's not easy to start a forum.
    Make the forum available for public, guest people also. If they like your forum, they will register and post there.

    Thanks for your advice. The forum is now open for guests to view.

    How do I start a forum with 1000 posts if there is only a couple of users?

    I own another forum with 100,000 posts in 9 months and that was just natural from scratch. (Football related website).

    Job job. You could use the "join now..." banner in the header as advertising space.

    Nice theme.
    You could use xtendmedia, harrenmedianetwork and CPXinterative instead of Adbrite.

    Also, you might want to look at the bottom of your page where is shows {1} new posts.

    We have developed two themes users can choose, a "wide" and a "narrow" theme. The narrow is a fixed width theme at 950px, and the wide is a theme that is liquid and sizes to 95% of the pages. I really love the fixed width theme, its fantastic.

    Fygi, thanks for your kind words. I hope you'll join!

    hawky, thanks for your message, I hope you'll join also!

    proxywhereabouts, hi, another site I had got myself banned from adsense. I wasn't actually clicking my ads, that's the bad thing. I will need a PPC advertising network once its established. Hope you'll join mate.


    river, I plan to use that join now banner as advertising space in the future, but I would not like you offput members like yourself. Please can you join the site?

    falguni, do you think we should do the exact same theme in a blue colour too?

    Everybody, the site is really new. It needs people like you to post. I'll need moderators and admins so once your an est. poster I will consider making you mods.

    You can register here!
