if the "currently are active in this forum" thing at the bottom was updated to include both logged in users and logged out visitors , it just makes even a low to moderately active forum seem much more inviting
another thing that drasticly increases joinuing a site is seeing other people joining, the more they see joining the more likely they will join
on a day when theres no joins in the activity feed you are unlikly to get any or many joins, but as soon as 1 joins anothers sure to follow, and if they see 15 joins they are very likely to wantto join too
so the joins should pop to the top and show everyone that joined within 24 hours (show the 1st 3 names "and 12 others" joined)
every time that "x number joined" pops to the top you are highly likely to see 2 or 3 or more join very soon after
these 2 lil suggestions can go a very long way towards helping your community grow faster
