There are a couple things that will get me registering and posting on a forum.
One of which, is the style. If I find a site that is easy on the eyes and attractive, for lack of a better word, I will usually register, because the style shows that the administrator has put alot into the forum, and it's not one of those five minute kind of things. I see clip art in your header, and that is just not the kind of look you want, I would suggest getting something custom done.
Contests. Because of the kind of topic you have, you will have a smaller part of the internet community wanting to join first off. To get people interested, the key word is stuff. A gift card to amazon.com, maybe something off of cafepress, or even a premium membership on the forum. It's a great way to get people to post, and if you have the resources, is just extremely successful.
Cole.
