Growth Are you worried you don't get enough registrations?
When I was younger, sure. Now, forums for me are a hobby. While I hope for an active forum, I don't care much about the growth of them.

Growth Adding staff to your forums
I'll typically add another moderator fairly quickly to help me keep the forum active. Then I'll wait until the two of us are overwhelmed and need help. Then we can add another moderator. And repeat. So, 1 extra at the get-go and then as needed. I only have one admin on my forums, being me. The...- Shawn Gossman
