Well, my best friend opened a forum about the military. He took everybody to his forum and it is really jumping. Mine is just a grain of sand with nobody on there

I had a active forum but now,......
I just need some members and threads. All I need. Please help me out.

You have to register to go inside (a certaint program) But once you are registered I have to "Let" or accept you in. So dont think it will be just then,
Thanks for the support

I'd recommend you set up the "permissions" of the boards to allow anonymous visitors to view the forums at least, but not make posts unless they register. If you don't let people view at first, there's absolutely no incentive for them to sign up!
Also, what forums are you talking about regarding your friend?

Ok, seriously... without being able to browse the forums without frist having an account and secondly, having to sign in, you will not get many users nor returning users to your forums!
People are genereally too lazy to sign in, just to see if anything new is posted (especially, when they have 10 other sites on their daily forum browsing routine).
