Forum-to-forum promotion works well. I highly suggest that you try it. Try to locate high traffic and PR forums within the same niche and introduce your brand in it. You can actually invite a lot of people to join your forum if you know the right techniques. Observe some member here and that should give you a clue.

As webcosmo said, a contest may be beneficial to you. Also you could advertise in your signature on other entertainment forums, assuming it complies with their rules.

What's the website of your forum?

have you tried optimizing your site? if not, i suggest that you do. Additionally, a contest of some sort will really help boost your traffic. Often times, webmasters resort to gimmicks and games with free prizes just to increase the number of people on their site.

Just remember the thought that people would want to go back to a website with something they can look forward to.

Well I believe Entertain forum can be promoted by Adverts or in Search Engines for good search words related to it.

Post good content in the forum and keep the visitors engage so that they can come back to check the updates and replies to their threads.

Hope this helps!
