I just started a programming forum, it's been up for 2 days and we are getting a little impatient about users showing up. I have added the website to many search engine indexes (I know that this can take time) and directories.

The forums is very extensive but i think that when people come and see the total post count at like 6 and users 5, it drives them away and nobody is willing to post just to help out.

I have a specific place for people to come post things that they think I should change on the forum because obviously I am human (well mostly anyways) and I make mistakes.

This is my website

From one programming website to another anyone have any advice for me?

Another piece of advice: don't get discouraged by the non-posting visitors. I was reviewing some of our "members" this morning. I would estimate that 90% of our "members" have never posted.

Thats good advice, Much appreciated. But the problem is we dont even have non-posting members lol. Just no members at all.

Thank you very much for your advice

BTW. Anyone know how I can add a signature to my posts?

Under the directory it says "User CP" . In there there should be somthing along the lines of setting's->add signature.

Just like with links, there is a posting limit before you can add a signature (to prevent sig spamming).

The race is on.. this is exciting. Who will get to the post first, the author or the infractor?
