Hi all,
Let's all talk about how well/or not so well our forums are doing. Tell each other what you have done that is making it successful or unsuccessful. Also, with your post please list what type of site your forum relates to. For example, mine relates to Movies.

My site is for young programmers interested in programming
It now has 1,033 members and growing
I love it

All of my forums are growing. No particular technique that I used, I just don't aim too high. :lol:

Constantly set short-term goals that have a forseeable end. When you first start, set a goal of maybe 50 members, then 100. Once you reach that goal, aim for maybe 500. Once you have that steady stream of new members, try to see if you can raise your postcount everyday by maybe 10 posts more than the previous day.

my forum has been up for 2 months and it has 132 members, what do u think of it? what do u think i should do to make it better and to get more members.

My forum is doing good, well OUR forum. It's not mines it's the user's, they make it what it is. I am just like the goverment that sets everything up for them, rules etc.

Near 3,000 members closing to it's 1st year
Over 60,000 unique IPS this year
constant 40+members online
I am very happy about it's success. My key to success?:the forum is for the users, make them happy, add content that users will use, be dedicated, add features other similar communities do not have to seperate your self away from them, be friendly
