What has been your biggest membership producer?

What forum promotion method has got you the most members?

Is it a promotional tactic that you planned for or did it just happen?

Have you successfully replicated it again? Did it provide the same results?

Personal network, sig links, exchanges.

I would rather invest in content and gain members organically.

I like the way you're thinking!
Organic is always the bigger reward for any type of online space in all honesty.
It takes longer most of the time but it pays off.

The good thing about organic is at some point, somebody is going to lead a mutiny, grab all your members and start a clone. Unless you have new members joining organically, the forum will die out.
