There aren't really good places to advertise these days. I used to try the whole promotional threads thing, and paid for ads a while back. We only got a single member from paid ads. Promotional threads helped a bit, but they didn't do us a whole lot of good in the long run.
I honestly recommend using good connections and keeping a small user base active. You can use signature links that will help you gain a lot of traffic as well. With a nice theme and some good content, people are going to be much more likely to join when they do visit, so having a good first impression will definitely help. Besides that, patience is an important factor. Forums that start slow aren't bound to fail.
Good luck with your forum.
