I just get friends to join my site, affiliate with other websites and maybe I get some of their members, put my site in my sig, submit my site to some search engines, and thats about it! How about you guys?

Mostly thru topsites...I've tried getting my friends to join in, but most of them aren't really all that interested.

I get my forum reviewed, and put the link on the skin copywrites.

I'd say thats how I got at least a 1000 of my members.

I collaborated with a lot of friends that owned boards in-like of my board, they shut down their boards, and got all the members to join mine.We do that a lot.Usually the person with the most members, will be the one to get the members of their board when they shut down.Luckily for me, I had the most members of their boards! :)
But, they're all administrators on my board, so yeah, it's pretty good in our eyes for all of the sides. :)
Plus, I submitted my board on search engines, topsites, affiliated with other sites, put my site in my sig, and got put the word out to people called 'Connectors'.

What I do is have a conversation on a board on Neopets. Then I'll bring up Star Wars, and then forum. We'll chat about it, and then I'll reccomend my forum. Then they join and then I get members!

I have affiliates who also focus on the same topic as my board, including 3 in French.

I have my link in my sig everywhere. I've submited to search engines.

My one other Admin even advertised a little.

I've learned not to say, "This is my board, come join." Instead I say, "Come join this cool site." It makes a difference.

You could always go "Join my board. It's way better than this one. If you don't join, everyone will mock you."
