I want new ppl to join a forum that i have off of my homepage.
the site is http://willpull22.remnetworks.com/ or just click the link in my sig to my home page and then click my forum on the side nav bar. It is a simple phpbb forum and i dont have any members right now.

P.s. also looking for someone who knows php and mysql also how to make css files that will work with phpbb forums.

Well one major problem is this: When I go to your site, I see absolutely nothing. I see the default IPB skin, which doesn't tell me anything. I see one single forum with a post in it that says "Guests may not see the rest of the forums, you must register", etc.

That policy will not get anybody to join your site. You should make most forums visible to guests so that people will be compelled to sign up. You should also invest some time into learning how to skin your forum. Nobody likes the default skin

Why should I sign up just to see if there's something I like or not? I'm not being mean, I'm just being honest about why nobody signs up.

Okay, but that has nothing to do with the fact that there is just nothing on your site.....

Having actual content that non-registered people can actually see would be step 1, I think....
Tech help, spyware removal expertise, and a mature, community-minded group of people. short-media forums.

Plus, I'd say to advertise your forums in marketing places and whatever else you can find. That is what I am about to do when my forums open up, which may be another 1-3 weeks before they open because I am trying to mod the board before releasing.
