I think at least some of them will be search engine bots and the inevitable spammers. Pro boards seems to be particularly prone to them. (My own forum at one point managed 107 users at the same time despite having maybe 10-15 active regulars even at it's height - We currently have... 4... D: )
It might be worth poking around on the proboards support forum. I've never actually managed to drum up new members there myself but then, my forum's very nature made it not-particularly accessible to outsiders. One like this might have more luck.

AH yeah true~! I hadn't thought about all the spambots that kind of zoom through the internet and try to blow up everything. In reality, I'm not like, SUPER desperate for new members xD I mean 6 is good and when it's not busy it's not like anyone is losing interest, really. Just we all get super busy. I just like to joke around lol
But it would be nice to have a somewhat larger crowd of people dorking around :3c maybe when punkus starts his "drawing for new people" drive I'll hop around and see where I can drag people in. Cause, new fans are always good I guess.

I'd be interested to see what kind of membership a forum for a webcomic tends to have, tbh.
I was just looking at the forums for a fairly popular webcomic, but then... I realised that the data basically serves no purpose except to be discouraging. So instead of posting it I am going to be constructive and offer a suggestion. How about holding forum-events like contests and stuff, and plugging them on the site?
Give people a reason to test the waters and they may just find them inviting enough to stay. : )

....oh man...
I really want to do that ;v;
I just worry about people saying "YEAH I'M GUNNA DO THIS" and then uh... no one ever does xD
BUT! YES! Great idea. I thought about doing that for the club on D.A. too somehow but hmmm. I wonder what I could offer as prizes? *curious*

I'd be willing to draw stuff~ I'm jobless again so, well... there's a lot going on so I don't have huge amounts of free-time but... I have some.

Yeah same. I decided I would help with the making art for people who joined up but yeah~ hmmm. That would be cool if people could uh... what's the word? "donate" prizes and stuff. HMM~ But yeah I think it's a great idea! I have a lot going on as well and I probably won't be able to set up any official contests for a month or so (i'm trying to get ready for the con coming up). Maybe I could set up some kind of contest to go on before then I could promote it when I'm at the con and that will help? Maybe that will pique some people's interest

Are you talking about the Anime blues con? I'm trying to find a way to go, but idk.
Contests are cool, but I can imagine that coming up with prizes sucks; especially if your not a huge company.
The way I see it is that people will eventually come, although a bit slowly. We came didn't we? And we aren't all local either, we've got a Brit! (Is Brit an insulting term? If it is I'm sorry.)

Yeah I got Anime Blues Con in June I'll have a table and I'll be doing two panels that I (hopefully) won't croak and go down in flames as they carry on haha... And yeah true!! I mean just as I was going "meh whatever" and about to shut it down, you guys showed up! ^^ Really the reason why I opened a forum was because I'm not always available for IM's or whatever, but I really wanted to communicate with people who read my comics or look at my art and stuff. But, I believe you :3 I would like to do more events and stuff later on but probably when I have more time and I can think of something~ I need to kind of get some stuff taken care of before I can dive into any other big things (not counting the "we will draw stuff for new members" I'm totally going to do that). But I probably will put the forum address out at the table and invite anyone who attends the panels to come along and ask me more questions if they want. Cause I like helping people and stuff c:
