    if its forums that your looking for help with, its hard to get started....people dont post in empty forums. what i did with mine was i registered with "fake" usernames and talked to myself under different names until people stated posting on their own

    Why, that's a damn brilliant idea dudecuda, lol!
    and yes, that's one way of doing it, the other way is to introduce your site to forums, like, put it in your sig, etc. Exaggerate your site a little, like Emuparadise!
    (lol, jk on the last part)

    hehe....i tried that too before i thought of the other idea

    i went to every wrestling forum i could find and PMed a whole shitload of people.....even the site owner and admins

    im regretting it a little now as i never noticed how many i got ip banned from.....and it also attracted flame posts from the regulars of the fourms i pmed.....and noone actually stayed.....i dont suggest doing that:\

    but my first idea worked great! and X Zrex's idea works good too, as just puttin it in your sig isnt making a jackass of yourself and pissing people off....

    lol, you PM a $hitload of people? and got banned? haha, hey, sorry to hear that. And if you put it in the sig, make it big!
    I think making fake SN is a great idea too. Making some say, "hey, this is an awesome site!!!" or "Man, this is the only forum I'll ever visit..."
    ok, fresh off the quotes.

    you guys think i should host some people for free with no ads? ( well maybe one but it won't be forced like a popup) and i could use some staff members that could upload and update regularly. i can update to but dial up is way to slow. any takers?
