Reminds me of when I started up my old forum... Just keep a steady flow of members is all I can suggest to you. That's what kept ours alive - we started with nothing and got a group of friends to sign up, then we invited other people to come join and sent the link to all the people on our MSN/AIM buddy lists... this gave us enough members for us to fill the forums with threads, which attracted new users quite easily and quickly.
It seems that with a large enough member base and enough threads in each forum, users will sign up by the bucketload.
