Being a "sleezy salesman" important for success?

[Bobo]

Short answer is to have some content that attracts the people you want and seed your forum with a handful of people discussing high interest topics.

...You might have ten screen names and be arguing with yourself for a while but that's one way to start.

If you cold call 50 guys and they all say yes to joining up, what are they going to talk about?

I wasn't here when MJ started this forum so I don't know how he grew it but I believe he and a group of others from another forum grew tired of the culture there and started a new one which grew organically.

In short, spend your time on making content that people will want to talk about.
