Link exchanges
Pay for banner spots on like 3 to 5 sites for a few months that have close to the same nitch as your site
Pay for a few people to post like 250 to 500 post each
Pay for a service that can give 10k+ back links these back links need to be on sites with a min of pr 3 really should pr 4 or better any less than pr 3 they will do nothing for your site
I agree with 2 first factors that you suggested but I don't agree with buying 10k+ backlinks, it can be harmful to my site and reduce rankings on search engines. : )Link exchanges

I would suggest doing the work with SEO as well as identifying and marketing to your target audience, word of mouth advertising works great too, provide a clean and neat forum, moderate it well, don't let spam or bad apples take over your forum, keep it interesting and fun, contests, games, ect, and that would all be a good foundation to start building a successful community website. :D
This very effective but spending more time and efforts.try to make contests & giveaways on Facebook to get more members on your Forum
Thanks for great ideas, what sites that you want to recommend me to have referencesYou must start contests with forum like
Best thread of week, Best thread of moth Best thread of year.
then best post of day enough for posts. best users etc etc.
referral contests another good thing.
give good prizes for winners.
then i think you must try postloop. com also
traffic,seo and quality contents heart of your forum.
