    Question How do you get forums to be popular?

    Hey guys, I just want to know right how the heck you get forums to become popular with members being active alot. Because im a forum manager on a fansite that has been around a while, and well the only thing im stuck with is just getting the place active. Anyone able to give me some tips or something?

    Much appreciated

    Advertising, reputation, make yourself known, do some crazy stuff. Like if its a habbo fansite, get a rich person, ask them to join, get to know them, then make them staff, and then try make them do massive givaway!

    Give people +Rep for joining from a different forum..!

    There's not much you can do, Habbox got popular because it was unique at the time, now there are loads of fansite forums and yours is just "another fansite forum", the best thing you can do is advertise loads and make your forum as interesting as possible.
    A lot of people try to offer free VIP etc

    No no please go on lol I dont care im taking everything in to account here I guess everything you do is easy, until you get to the point where you need members to keep it running. Ive got members! no doubt but it's not enough to keep it active if you know what I mean?
