I have been using forums now for over 20 years and I always remember the very reason I fell in love with forums, it was because you could go on, chat about what you enjoyed and what interested you, and there would be no worry about the content you posted because the forum was active.

We all know that just creating a community doesn't mean people will flock to your forum. It takes time, dedication and a lot of promotion.
When it comes to your communities, what promotion methods have helped and worked for your community? Do you have any tips for other community leaders?
