Offer something nobody else does... not just sigs, etc... communities are directly affected by the content offered, offer some unique content and members will come.

Why? P2L only allows something like 65*65 avatars and it's great fast loading site...

i often think a modivation thing is the best so li,e after 150 posts you become a premium member and they get acces to premium stuff and are a special colour. Also make the more posts you have u get rewards and have sotws and compitions. Make your forum intresting!

An example of something unique is like offering free hosting and free .com/.net/.org domains like I do.

Sorry, but post to host isn't a new or unique idea :) There are tons of them out there.

Running a forum? Need members? Hm... Active your forum! This is it.

. Newsletter (?)
. Offer (!)
. Content (Limit it to the target audiences!)

I think that's all. I DO like to be active in all the forum I joined, but some forum just lack of those thing, which didn't impress me at all. Or even worst, no post for a week or more! You need posts, and it's a QUALITY post rather than just "Nice work!" "I like it so much", these is so called, a waste of time :D Sorry for any offence guy :D My apologies here :)
