I'm no expert by any means.......but what I have done is join other forums and use your sig as a link on those that will allow you to. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.

Join myspace, facebook, and any of the other sites you can think of to spread word about your site.

Get your link in any of the directorys you can that are out there.

Leave meaningful comments on folks blogs .

I'm sure you'll get much better advice from others, but this is a start, hope it helps and good luck with the forum .

Free ProBoards forums are very hard to optimize (you don't have control over the settings). They historically take ages to receive page rank.

I would suggest you open a paid domain website or blog. Optimize the paid domain for SE's and link your forum to it. You can register a domain name for just a few dollars and hosting is very affordable as well.

SEO tips include:
META tags/title tags
keyword optimizing
obtaining back links
link exchanges
try doing a newsletter
add fresh content on a regular basis (content is king)
etc
