    Member involvement

    How can I influence the members of my site to be active?? I've provided a forum and a free way of being advertised but no one on the site is doing anything. I have just over 100 members and I'd say that about 80 percent of them are dormant. Does anyone have a way of waking up members??
    Do you have a trade skill? Business idea? Need partnership?

    Are you sure the members are not spam bots? That would be my first assumption.

    Second, you need to get the momentum going.. you publish new threads regularly, ask them questions...

    simulating the forum sounds like a good idea

    Definitely. In the early days of a forum, you need to remain active. As things begin to pick up, I personally think it's best if the Admin bows out, but there are cases of things being OK even if the Admin hangs around.

    If you got a dynamic site, try to create something that can be done on their "spare-time". A game, quiz or something like that. (Posters aboves tips is the number 1 though)
