You haven't started your forum yet, so there's no way you can get any kind of traffic now if the forum doesn't exist. Or do you have a Web page and you want traffic to your site first?

Post in related forums with good content, linking to your own site in your forum signature. Remember not to spam the other forums That will just make you look bad. However, posting good info will get you a good name and make you well respected in your industry.

I agree with all above about participating in related forums.

It is also a good idea to use social bookmarking eg. digg, stumbleupon

Including a link to your forum in your post would be helpful, we can review your site and give some helpful advice. Related to that, adding a link to your signature will help get traffic to your site.

The best way would be to find some forums that are related to whatever it is your site is about. Asking them to review your site generally gets the word out.
