My forum had a little fiasco that culminated with hosting problems resulting in the site being down for around a month. Now, thankfully, my site is back up, but obviously my members are nowhere to be seen.

I have a couple members that I can directly contact and they'll start posting, but I'm afraid that isn't enough to really jumpstart the forum. I'll definitely send out a newsletter, but again, I doubt that's enough to bring back a significant number of members. The forum was very small to begin with, so I doubt a newsletter would have much impact.

The bottom line is that I'm in desperate need of some ideas and resources for getting new and reliable members.

Thanks!
