Ok well these are some suggestions to help you get some new members to your forum.

1) Advertise a lot.
- Put your url in your signature, on the front page of your forum, put keywords that might interest people that are searching on google.

Recommend sites to advertseon:

http://ifsz.com
http://forums.bizhat.com
http://gamerenders.com
http://s11.invisionfree.com/Advertis...m_V2/index.php

If you have a tutorial section for your site, i would suggest submitting tutorials to:

http://pixel2life.com/ and http://good-tutorials.com/

By doing this you can increase your traffic dramatically.

For my site I got 150 - 200 unique hits a day (until I quit working on it) and non came from search engines as I was unlisted. My forum has (I am in the process of starting over so I can still say has)

97 members. Although most of them don't post... Anyway, most if not all of my hits came from top site lists and affiliates. Top site lists got me going and I made a huge success out of my website. Also if you make templates submit them to websites like zeroweb.org and freewebtemplates.com. I have one template (you may have heard of the Green Machine template) that has had over 15000 downloads because of this. It will drive traffic to your site and I strongly recommend it.

what about trying to make the content worthy ?

i found this to be the key

you dont need advertising in every situation, and for sure advertising only cant guarantee lots of members
