I am being very careful with what I am a webmaster of or an admin or any other staff member of some sort. It is hard with 10+ websites however I seem to be getting good money from it so I am going to be sticking with it.

Adding the forum to top lists and also adding the forum site to Google Lists are ways of getting the site popular quickly. Even if top lists sound dodgy many people do visit them. Depending on the category you can easily google top lists, for gaming or support forums, there are many out there. Also one way I would go about is to get people you know to promote the forum site and also get others to either moderate or become new members on your forum, this will help get traffic onto the site.

Hope I helped

Also, make it appear beyond cluttered, like oversimplified with good functionality. Make it look concise, people are afraid of a large amount of choices, options, buttons, and links they can't read all at once or understand.

I'm sure there are people out there whose eyes have adjusted to various forums, but overall, I hate signing up for forums just to post. I want to be able to put my email address in, bypass a decent captcha, and then post. Maybe even have anon go to an admin approval.

The moderation of a forum seems to cost a lot of time and attention. And starting and being the administrator of a forum costs probably even more time. It seems there are several ways to get a free template for a forum.
