only one suggestion :
complete honesty towards your forum and maximum hardwork.
work daily ,increase the advertisements , go to other forums ,become a member , just publish your site in that forum whenever you get a chance

dont just advertise.If you be a important person in a forum or members like you,they'll surely visit your forum.Especially if you're a staff.Dont just post.You have to build good relationships with members.Get to know them more and let them know you more:)

And you can create a Fanpage on Facebook here--> https://www.facebook.com/pages/manage/?act=58234361#!/pages/create.php

Another guide to bringing more members in
This is the biggest hurdle an administrator of a new forum has to jump. This is Everest. Advertising your forums is never easy
but is something that can be accomplished. Advertising your forum takes
a lot of effort, and hard work. However, never listen to people who say
advertising costs money. NEVER. Because there are so many very
effective ways that you can bring traffic and members to your website
without dipping into the retirement fund.
I must say, before you even release your forums - you need to ask
some of your close friends to become a member and start posting.
Because members do not want to go into an empty forum, they want to go
into a populated and active environment that has a lot of posts that
they can talk on. So I would recommend getting at least 2
friends to start posting a lot. If you can not do that, then your
forums will be empty. So what you can do is sign up for a promotion
forum and usually, they have a currency system they may call it 'Forum
$'. You should post around and make your presence clear and earn some
of the forum dollars. With these dollars pay people to make posts on
your forums
