Build content as much as you can and as fast as you can. Forum are not like blogs that the content has to be 100% unique everytime. So, surf blogs, forums, communities, social groups etc in your niche and collect as much as idea you gather from them.

Hire content writers or use professional content rewriting tools to build tutorials and discussions. As soon you as you have reached a critical mass the content and visitors rate will grow automatically by themselves.
