Greetings NEO,
I had a look at your forum, and i think that its got great potential. The biggest problem is that its hard to get it all started. Once the forum is has a bit of life, the traffic feeds off itself. Until that happens though, it usually hinges on one thing. I remember one experience in a yahoo club, which is in many ways similar. At first, just the founder would post - and this happened for a long time. Eventually word spread around though, and now it is a really huge community thanks to her effort. Really, it is a matter or persistence.
As the founder too, you play the biggest role - continally providing more content. This way, if people see there is always useful content, they will keep coming back. And then eventually they may begin posting! The problems is (and we have learnt this the hard way with our own forum) that a forum is a lot like a plant - if you water it regularly (and provide the content) and nurture it, it will grow up to be a beautiful thing. However, if it's neglected, it will die. So i guess im writing this for the purpose of encouragement - keep up the good work and stay with it. Hard work will get you there!
As far as
SEO for your site goes, you cant go past the advice of the WebProWorld members!
