Initial sucsess to the forum

[mini_0]

The initial part of setting up a forum can be very tough .Creating successful forums is not by any sense of the word easy, they involve a tremendous amount of work to get them started. Nobody likes to post on an empty forum so you've to actively promote it and create lots of topics for discussion yourself, if these topics are interesting then you should get a few replies. You've to do this self posting on a continuous basis for months, sometimes weeks but mostly months before a steady flow of topics and replies are posted by your forums members.

I think it is also essential to attract more mebers in the forum to create more stimulating treads and topics to entice more visitors to participate and get into the discussion.

Exactly , that is what because ofcourse , no one will want to post on an empty forum because that would certainly look like that they are talking to themselves . a forum promotion should always be on the level where you do not spam and i think one should never promote on the other forums because first they take it in the bad sense , the admins and mods there are obviously not happy and may ban you for advertising . also even if the forum is on a particular topic there should be a chat section .
