Dear members,

today I've launched a custom style at my forums, though now we need some members to register and post... make the forums active. I would like to know how you would attract more visitors to a 'general' forum, and how to get them to register. Can you please help me?! The forums' portal is located at www.static-net.com , the forums can be reached at www.static-net.com/forum/

Thanks in advance.

    Why not write an awesome article the get it mass republished. This will virally create a lot of interest in your forum.

    You dont need masses of marketing, you just need to do a few things well.

    I have many articles that have over 100,000 views so I know what I am talking about.

    This is the easy way.

    Hope that helps

    I have set up several forums in the past and the way that I have done it has worked but it is hard work. First of all I have set up about twenty five dummy accounts that are all me and generated conversations and theads for three weeks. Then I have asked experts in the field to post their work and comments. My forums were on cake decorating and I chose the people I wanted to register from Flickr and then offered them free membership.

    As I said it was the hard way but it was very effective because once i had fifty active users it took off under its own steam. Hopefully someone else can tell you a faster and easier method.

    Good luck
