I create a forums back in March and I am looking to increase the amount of posts and visitors on my site. I was curious if anyone here had any good techniques that worked in building the success of your forum.
everyone goes through this stage but in that post i detail how to speed up that beigining very few joins and very few post, it made me go from 2 or 3 posts a day to 50-80 posts a day

Thanks Gargen for your post. I'm not sure your tactic would work for the market that my website is in. I'm glad to hear it worked for you though :)

Hi, wfernley, try the Community Building Library [webmasterworld.com] for some good threads on jump-starting a new community, getting lurkers to post, etc. One thread that may be particularly useful is Starting a Web Community [webmasterworld.com].
