G'day Paul,
Best way is to advertise it... Get people that you host maybe to place an add or something on their website and then that can help you.
Also put it into google, yahoo and major search engines to get it going.
Maybe get it into google adds.....

Make new threads that can grab attention of people easily and share them in social bookmarking/networking sites.
The best way is to advertise your forum also you can apply SEO techniques to your forum and also do register on oyher similar forums and let other know about it
The best way to get more traffic is just keep patience and spread your brand name throughout with every single thing you can do ....!!!! wear it, gift it to others, write it wherever you think people will be able to notice it ... anything ... jsut let others know YOU are there .. and beleive me they will come to you!
hi.......... the best way to increase traffic is forum posting and social book marking. u can visit different sites and drop ur links there and u will get some traffic in return..........
VPS Hosting provides an affordable alternative for a dedicated server.
This is a problem all new forums have. How do you throw a great online party when everyone is the first one there? No matter how you get traffic (forum postings, blog postings, directory submissions, paid advertising, social networking, article directory submissions, etc...) you need to keep building content on your site while participating with anyone who shows up.
Also make sure you have a good stats program so you know where your traffic is coming from. This will let you know which promotion efforts are worth your time.

start up a lot of interesting threads and work on seo for the site.
I recommend Interspire ecommerce shopping cart and email marketing software.
I'm surprised nobody has suggested social networking. The social bookmarking response is the closest I've seen. I would suggest you join Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and get to know people on those forums. As you become a part of their community, you can begin to drive traffic to yours.
The thing to remember about social networking is that you have to give as well as take, so that means participating, sharing links and tips and responding to people's questions and so forth. You can use a community like DaniWeb too to help you grow your own community.
Promotion takes work, but if you work hard, and build a community of people, they will know you and therefore want to see what you're doing on your forum.
Good luck with it.
