New forum
 

I installed vBulletin and getting traffic, many surfers are registering as members but nobody is posting anything :Oh crap How do I get them to start posting?

(can't give the site name because of gfy rules)

Naked chicks and lots of them

Cash incentives work . . . . kind of.

Outsource posters to get discussions started.

Leave while you can..

try to ask people to post on your forum as starters in exchange with money...that way you will have lots of threads and posts and those who will get to visit your forum will post and react on the treads seen on it.

Sounds like you're not really cut out for the Forum biz, if you have to ask a question like that... :upsidedow

ADG

what type of forum is it? why are they registering if they are not posting? give us a few more details please so we can answer you better

dude!!! post some boobs!!!

post lots of poo... people will complain...

The world pretty much has too many forums already.

I think those are the bots registering on forum, not real people. Also, hire some paid posters to get things going..

It is an adult board, not mainstream. The board has captcha plus their ip's are from legit isps and no spam so they are real people, I don't know why they are registering and not posting but I get at least 8 registrations a day and maybe one lame post.

Free swag, tees etc for a certain amount of posts.

give freebies or cash, hire posters, etc...

just make sure it's worth the cost! :winkwink:

Create a couple of members and start the ball rolling by posting threads yourself.

If you like eastern european posters of gibberish...

I think I need to find a couple of trolls to hang out around my board

Freebies ... or cash incentives ...
