imho to build an active board you need to already have decent traffic to feed it.
as kamilla said: nobody will join a board with only 2 guests hanging around doing 2,5 posts per week.

sure you can grow it slowly with building linktrades, advertisment and providing good content to your members but I think thats a pretty hard way to get it off the ground.

It is easier to build a different site (blog or something), grow it and then add a board as a bonus feature where your surfers can hang around.
they already know and bookmarked your mainsite, read your feed and are more likely to join your board too.
