- Start small. Don't create lots of sections expecting them to be filled when you just don't have the user base.
- Don't place ads on your site. It's just starting, you wont earn anything and it makes your forum unattractive to guests. Give before you take.
- Read SEO guides, or ask for help here. Get your keywords and page titles spot on.
- Make it unique. Purchase a premium theme and customize it to perfection. Seeing the same templates over and over isn't good, visitors will be heading straight for the exit button.
- Encourage posting. Set up competitions, offer good prizes. Be approachable and professional.
I've just looked at your site, it needs a lot of work. As a guest, I would not join.
