I find that the number of posts you get is just a matter of admin activity. My short term goal (before the end of the summer) is to get 15-20 ACTIVE (1-5 posts a day on average) members, plus a bunch of post-once-a-weekers.

My current short-term goal is to see my travel board reach 100,000 posts. That should happen some time around January by my estimates.

10 active members can really move your forum forward. Even 3 active members make a huge difference.

Active members is the problem that I have on my Canadian site. I have a number of posters on the new Ebay Forum and soon I hope to start doing some basic SEO to see if I can get some SE traffic.

There are times I feel like I'm completely lost, but I know one thing. We need to keep going ...

If you stop then you feel like everything that you put into the site was a waste.

For my new site I developed a long term plan and whenever I don't meet one of my milestones I will have to rethink. But so far so good.

I had a break away from my forum for a short time, and the extra work involved with cleaning out the spam negated the refreshing benefit of a break.

now i am almost back at square 1

Just to have some nice members, discuss the topics I love and establish nice and friendly communities. This is a hobby mainly, I am not planning to get rich, just to spend some time with some nice people.
