I think word of mouth is best, you get the most people by either telling them about it, or having someone else tell them about it.

it depends on the product your provivding as well. for example your board may be on a topic that only certain people take a interest in . so no matter how much advertising you do you will not get a large serge of members flocking to your board

i have a football forum , now if you like footie or not you cant deny that it is a very popular subject enjoyed buy millions every weekend ! So when im advertising i would say on a subject of football im more likly to get more members joining my forum !

Kinda untargeted+Targeted advertising (Reason is that it could get more people into the game) Word of mouth mostly. Being friendly. Give good rules, help out. Have great friendly members + Mods.

Hope this helped :P
