I just started a new forum myself (one is running successfully). I do go in there every other day with a different nick, just to seed it. the whole site is not really live yet and I sometimes wonder whether I should have waited with installing or linking to the forum until my pagecount is somewhat reasonable.

but

I figured once I start to look for links and there's already a 'history' of threads, it will be easier to reach critical mass.

It worked the first time around. the smoke into fire?

It happened by itself, someone went and started making really bad posts about me, my website and the forum. first it was nightmare and then people came forward in my support. from then only upwards :)
