Help with making forum,

[nathansuchy]

Dear SMF Support,

I setup my forum and now that everything is setup I noticed I don't have any members  and no matter what I do I can't get any members what should I do my forum is about Android and the link is http://www.ad-forums.tk/index.php what should I do?

(I am really concerned...)

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Well, I got a lot of members but I haven't got any post since I set verifiation for all newbies. Isn't that funny?

Yes it is, what is your forum about?

[Looking]

Think about your site like a restaurant and ask yourself... what are you serving that will make a person leave a restaurant they may already know and frequent to come to yours? You have to win them over.

Nothing. Just a simple forum.

They are simply too much forum on android. You must do better than that. May be if you made some custom rom and your rom is very good and stable than the stock rom, you can have a good forum. Last time Darky use to do it after joining XDA. Then she left with her Darky team. Then now the team is forming Alliance after she decided to leave. (Sorry, she is actually he). Their forum is a good forum but with their own specialties.

Your saying I need something to attract users right? (we are working on releasing a custom rom)

(we are working on releasing a custom rom)

That seems to be a good start.
