Make a forum on something you like. Something you know a lot about.

There's no point in having a forum if you don't like the topic of it. ;)

I guess I do have Good Posts/Contents, it's just I don't think people look at the advertising stuff.

And, there's not as much people on this forums as much as there was like, 2 years ago, people are on different forums... :/

I have set up my forum subject on Facebook with links to my forum and visa versa, the best of both worlds.
Like SMF said "Different times I noticed people are on social networks more like Facebook now", that's where the audience is, so go there and link each to each other.
Hope that helps.

"...no no no human, you have run a forum as if no one will visit it, so you make the forum your home first, keeping it secret to avoid either the riff-raff or those spambots form turning up..." mentioned the goblin now, adding "...and then, once your forum is sweet, you do the rounds on forums without any cheap poaching intention but just noting who posts what, then after you have been friends long enough to know if the person meets your benchmark, just invite him or her in secretly...", in fact, the goblin often saw that those people who rushed to create their forum with lots of effort and high expectation, simply gave up after a while through either boredom or lack of membership, he was suggesting a long term approach here
