I'm hands full with forums right now that i'm registered on, and what I try to maintain mostly consists of my own forum and SF for the most part. I'm on several other forums for Windows, and MSDN.
Even if it's just one thread in that new section I added it would be great, just to bump it up a bit. Then any time you have free you could maybe make a few posts.

I honestly can't promise any more than a few posts there, It would be a waste of time for me to post too much if I can't be active there. I haven't signed up on any new forums in the past 6 months because I was already full at that point lol. If you only knew the kind of logins that I have to keep track of.
If you get more activity, maybe i'll sign up and make a couple posts, but until then I don't see it doing much benefit to you for me signing up. I would sign up, make an intro thread, and then there would be almost nothing left to do as you only really have 14 members currently.
I'm a programmer, and webmaster, but not a blogger
Update: I registered.
As King said, I expect only tips and tricks. Sometimes tools.

If you check the resultsand scroll to the bottom of the forum and see the statistics, you will see that they are all dead. Apart from digital point, obviously. But that one doesn't count because it's not a forum based on blogging.

Not this one:

or this one:
http://www.bloggeries.com/forum/
And that friend, is called your competition
As Ace said, those are your competition.
You know why you won't succeed, though? You started off advertising as a blogging forum. They started it with either a blog directory or a blog filled with tips to make your blog great. They probably got to around 500-1,000 unique visitors per day on their actual site before making a forum.
Too many people make forums just to make forums these days. They never ponder on whether or not their idea is suited for a forum or not. In this case, it is not. You need to start a blogging tips blog, and then once you have an high amount of readers, you can add a forum for people to discuss the blog posts you put up.
I'm just preaching the choir. I know you won't change what you're doing...I would like to see you prove me wrong, though.

I will prove you wrong! This is exactly what I'm going to do, thanks!
And I mean, don't even have a forum. You can still have the database and the stuff you worked on, but hide the directory so no one knows it is there. Just keep providing quality tips and people will check out your blog.
