General discussion forums still need some type of focus to attract new members, so I suggest starting by posting hot topics or current news, like the World Cup. It is great that your team are actively creating threads. Create a plan for promoting your forum, by requesting reviews in sites with Showcase sections like the SMF support forum and webmaster forums.
The chatbox indicates ongoing activity on-site so use it to give members an idea of what "general discussions" are. Don't discuss forum strategies there, instead discuss non-forum topics: sports, games, what you did outside the forum.
You need a new logo. The current one not only looks small, it is also forgettable. I notice you have a banner request in the Graphics section. You can also request a banner from http://gfxforums.net and other forums, to increase your chances of receiving one.
