How do you get people into your discussion? Tips and hints on how to promote your discussion.

So we tested this one way of promotion using digg. It was using rjwood's thread. Here is the digg link: (we got like 10 diggs, but i think it was all members)

Digg - How To: Buy a New Car

I'd like to hear some ideas on how we can utilize these services out there to get traffic and posting to some of our discussions.

I think using digg or stumbleupon is a good way to get more traffic.

The problem with this particular "dugg" was that it's not the usual front page stuff of digg.com.

Usually crazy/cute cats, Ron Paul, Anti-Bush, anti-wire-taping do have the greatest success, oh and I almost forgot the Linux and Ubuntu stuff because of the big promotion of digg.com on planet.ubuntulinux.org

Honestly, I have invited people here, but they declined because after taking a gander, they were insulted by some posts made toward me. Besides my wife, 5 children and my dog (kidding about the dog, he died last week. He was actually willing to sign up, guess he didn't like the brand of food I fed him), there have been friends that declined.

I did not post that to cause problems with anyone in particular, I'm simply stating a fact.
