I don't mean to advertise my site, but usually I think advertising on small sites means more of their members will join, big sites will have many banners rotating whilst mine has none. Also since your forum is bigger than mine members will drive in.
Gatt, if you didn't mean to advertise, then there's no need to advertise .
Feel free to post in other offers and requests with your advertisement offerings. But we're discussing the methods of marketing here.
I would suggest to submit your links also to other forums.
It quite effective as long as there are a lot of active members and your links would not against the forum rules.
Does anyone have any tips on how to populate a forum with members? I am specifically looking to get those with a web-design / development interest to sign up.
As some of you may have noticed I have bought ad space on TFL, I thought that might be a good start to getting the forum known.
I am really keen to make Style:Reboot a popular place, so I would like to do it in the right way.
I have a design forum too. I will help you if you help me. Register and start posting on mine. I'm registering on yours right now.
