Create A Forum - Support Forums

I believe there's only one way to grow your forum, and that's by thinking!
 Your brain is your forum's greatest asset, just take out say 30 minutes and ask yourself
 how can I get more members?
 How can I build a close community?
How can I get the members to return after they join?
etc.
 Depending on what type of forum you have, you should be able to get new ideas after THINKING REALLY HARD.
 It dosen't have to be conventional.
 A facebook page would do fine, and a twitter page.
 Now, suppose there are small fb groups that have the same identity as your forums, you could message the admin to partner with you. Chances are that he might invite members of the group to your forum. Advertise in fb groups. Email webmasters for backlinks. Advertise in these support forums. I notice some members of this support forum in my forum. Thanks!

 Don't stop thinking. Newsletters similar to what fb give as email notifications could help members remember and return to your site. Make your forums userfriendly. Create interesting discussion topics, etc etc.

I feel like this guide already exists and we have many topics on it already...
