The next step...

  1. Niche
  2. Domain
  3. Hosting
  4. Forum Script
  5. First Forums
  6. Style/Template
  7. First Posts (Informative and participative)
  8. Atracting New Members

Ok, so I have everything in green...now starts the process of getting users...what should I do in order to attrack new users?

Please check the forum and suggest: The OS Forums - Index page

You don't want to register if you don't want to, just give suggestions as to what can I do to attrack new members to the forum (and actually make them register).

Thanks.

I would also put a welcome message of sorts at the top of the forums inviting guests, explaining what your forums are about, and telling them how to register.

The light grays and white seem too bright and the lack of colour seems too... sterile. I know that theme comes in blue, green and cyan, maybe try one of those?

That register redirect link as first forum is good, but does it still display if you are logged in?

Join some forums that are directed at a specific OS and join in the discussions, put a link in your signature and it will also help you think of new content to post on your forum. Create some youtube videos directed at OS's (maybe video guides on popular modifications) and put your link first in the description. Use adwords for very specific keyword targetting. Post on blogs and news related to certain OS's.

Just my opinions

Logged in users don't see it. Even me as an administrator can't see it after I'm logged.
