I set up a forum on Invisionfree and got my own domain name (dotcom)(link in sig). I know it's new, but I really want more members. I've posted a link to it on other sites in my sig, I'm making a banner for it, I've asked friends, and acquantinces to join, but still barely any members. Any help would be greatly appreaciated, thanks.

I think you should get rid of the skin changer, then find one skin you really like. Then make sure you have a full set of buttons. All the buttons currently are defualt.
The rules forum is not needed in my opinion. Opps, this is more of a review sorry. Advertising tips below =)

To increase traffic you could try joining topsites. Even submitting to our directory, if you haven't already, may help

Next try to find some large boards on your subject, join and contribute. Contributing and making helpful posts will help your board. Trust me.

Fully agreed. Selectively reply to threads which have a hell-of-a-lotta views or are going to be very popular, edit your signature on the forum to have a big advertisement and make sure your post is constructive. A great way to start a board. On my first forum I gained my first 300 or so members from exactly this. The problem is when people start doing the same tactic to you

Ok, I'll put the rules in Important Announcements, I guess. I just wanna make the general rules visible for the members to see, aside from the board guidlines. I don't think the skin selector is neccessary, either, but I like giving the members a skin to choose from. I'll delete it anyway. I don't much like the idea of joining a popular site and posting there, although it is a good idea. I don't like it because it would require a great deal of time, but I will do it anyway because it would be beneficial in the long run. I don't know where to get new buttons, and I'm not too good with Photoshop yet, although I guess I could try making my own.

As gor the sig thing, I'll expand the one I currently have, or I might just restart it...

Thanks so far, guys.

For buttons/graphics try IFTomatoes or the IFSZ.

Also I am afraid running/promoting a forum/site always takes effort and time, so be prepared to invest some =)

Slack is right, the only true way to get people in is to stay visibly active and involved

Thanx for the links to the buttons, I'm setting them up. I got a few more people to join, so I hope they will get others to join. I noticed my site appears on google, I guess that's because I'm a dotcom. Mebbe that'll attract more people.

Ok, so I changed the forum quite a bit, I think some of the new features will attract lots more members. BTW, Slack, a review is always nice, rather than just tips. It's nice to hear what I should do rather than me guessing.

Sorry if this is considered a double post.

the skin is good, but you need to get a matching button/marker set for it, and a new header would certainly go a long way.

By header do you mean banner? I'm putting in a new one later. And I have someone that did buttons for me, I just gotta contact him. The buttons that are currently in are temporary, as was noted at the top.

I just know more friends need World of Warcraft cd key now and item4u.com can serve you. Wow cd key prices are usually different from store to store and different from server to server. Warhammer online gold is even preselling weeks before September 18, 2008. And war power leveling? Not one less. Although warhammer power leveling serves the players and make money for the game product company, game studios and websites, which is the same as war cd key and gold, it is the headache of game product company, game studios and websites. Why and why not? All of them need warhammer online power leveling, yet they are not standing on the same line.

It has been 4 weeks after warhammer online gongce. Now tens of thousands of MMORPG players are fighting north and south, enjoying the game, while a potential market is straddling nearby, may be finding a good website to buy Warhammer cd key or warhammer game time card. I got 882000 websites or so which is concerned with warhammer online cd key or Warhammer online game time card after I input “warhammer online cd key” at google. No wonder they are in two minds. There are too many warhammer online business websites.I bet game produces are smiling happily for so big a market they have got. They should smile for so many MMORPG players, for so many warhammer online businesses, for so many money that they will get. While for the MMORPG players, why should you be straddling? We have got item4u.com which provides good War cd key and the best Warhammer Game Time Card. It is also the first website that I got from google after inputting “warhammer online cd key”. buy cheap World of Warcraft cd key and Warhammer Power leveling.
