Hello all,
I have a forum, and i need help in making it grow.
I don't know where to advertise, i have done google searches and done all of the free sites that look good, but, i need more help...
I need something that is free... and can get me members...
Where should i go?

I think the standard answer is google (the search engine, not adwords). Just keep writing good posts / articles that will serve as link bait.

You should create a sitemap (there is a mybb plugin for this) and submit it to google.com/webmaster, yahoo site explorer and live.com's webmaster tools.
I haven't had much luck with banner adds personally, but you may try buysellads.com - that's a good place to purchase ads.

I think forums are a perfect way to get moral support and get open to the problems that people are thinking about.
To promote it, do some banner advertising on other forums, participate in them and let the members know about your forum putting links in your signature. Participating in Social bookmarking and networking sites is also a good way to get visitors. Other than this, there are many more ways that you can find going thru the forum.

Alright, thanks for that. I'll give that a try.
Thanks,
