One day, a random person found my (at that time empty) http://www.4sme.co.uk/forum/ 4sme Forums, and posted a message about a b2b scam he had been the victim of. I replied. He re-replied. Someone else found it thru google, and posted. Then someone else. Then a couple of others. Then the topic deviated to another similar scam.. And so on.
At present I have about 17 or so members who have all independently found the site thru google, most of which have posted once or more.
This seems (mildly) impressive to me, since I've really not put any work into promoting the forum at all. It also proves interest/demand for something like this [a central forum to discuss and compare notes on scam companies in the uk].
How do people think I could go about increasing the growth rate, and encouraging users who signed up to talk about scams to look at / start other threads on general business topics? I don't want the site to be all about scams...
