Get members?

[Common]

The best way to get members is to add content and have a good site. Then it will spread by itself.

Who told you that? To boost members, you must use other methods of promotion, like the ones mentioned on this thread. You can't just create an awesome site then sit back and expect the members to flow in. It takes hard work to get good results.

Look at Omniscient for example, he has done many promotional things, like PM blasts and other things to promote this forum. I mean, how else would we know about a site that has just been set up?
