I have posted the same thing in another forum, and they talked about
trying to have them do the work for me and make me some bucks with
Google Ads while the forum don't even host ads lol. All we wanted is to
have people posting in it, that's all.
There's nothing to make fun of.
But, you are posting to an existing newsgroup that is quite active, trying
to lure people to your "forum". What's missing is why anyone should leave
here to go somewhere else. If they are happy here, they'd have little
interest, and if they aren't happy here, they aren't likely to see your
message.
YOu thought that simply posting about your forum should bring people, but
you've not done one bit of convicing why anyone should go over there.
There is a structure for creating newsgroups, and it's there to ensure
that when one is created, there is an actual need. Too often, people think
if they create something that will draw people, and the result is so many
forums and "google groups" that have one or two members and one or two
messages and nothing happens. You haven't even told us why you created
this forum of yours, which suggests the only reason is because you could.
Now you've come begging because you need people to post to your forum and
to read it. You've thus proved that a space isn't what creates discussion
and content, it is the people. And yet another forum means nothing since
the people are missing from the equation.
