To me, it is quite simple.

If you have a forum whereas nobody cares to join it; is probably not worth joining. Pursuing in its evolution into being just another forum that nobody cares to join, you'll need to solicit for meaningless new members continually.

Happy web site promotion!

Yes I do agree with that comment. I forgot or something I overlooked to mention, the correct niche is most important key factor for SEO and traffic too. However I have seen lots of SEO doing such irrelevant links in websites of different niche.
I only wonder how could that effect otherwise PR?

The relevancy of a link doesn't affect PR. But it does have a huge affect on the search rankings.

The best way to forum is to participate in the related forum and promote that you have new site .

It seems all right, I think this is a very good way.

You have to be careful when doing that though. It's frowned upon in many forums for being spam. Since you'd be posting in other forums related to what your site is about, the last thing you want to do is get a bad reputation in your industry.

Definitely post in other forums on similar topics and link to your forum in your signature. By creating good, helpful posts, you'll gain a positive reputation among other communities in the industry, and your name and your site will become associated with quality information.
