How would you go about getting members for your new forum?

[TheDuckCrew]

i created a forum and i've been trying to get members with no such luck. what would you do?

9. Do not promote other poultry websites that could be considered in competition to BYC. Sometimes it may be appropriate to link to another site that has specific information relative to a question, but moderators have to right to remove links and posts at their discretion.

Thanks for your cooperation.​

[TheDuckCrew]

[dixiechick]

OH. Sorry, I don't have ducks....or I would kindly pay you a visit!

[dixiechick]

seems like a good idea to launch a backyardduckpond site!
