How Do I Get People To Use A New Forum?

Today's question comes from Warren, who is planning to start a forum. How can he encourage users to contribute when the forum is still new and doesn’t have a lot of content? Warren’s site is http://www.thesuperblife.com/. Fizzle does a great job managing their community (http://fizzle.co/), as does Darren Rowse from Problogger (http://www.problogger.net/). Steve Kamb institutes challenges to keep his community engaged (http://www.nerdfitness.com/) Do you have a question about forums and Facebook? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/.
