Hi Wayne.

I know you've been trying to encourage new members for a while, and again, I don't want to be negative but there's no point having a forum just for the sake of wanting to admin one, especially when the content and themes are so similar to this site.

As I suggested before, it's incredibly rare to be able to create a successful forum simply on the basis of it's own existence. You need to have a unique theme or content for your website which people actually want to see, then use the forum as an extension of that. If you give people a reason to come to your forum, and give them something to discuss there with likeminded people then you will have more success.
