Bob, I'm not going into the business part of your question but only about increased readership and participation.

I do know there is a connection between the PondBoss Forum and the Texas Fishing Forum, where I sometimes participate.
http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php

It’s cluttered but well organized. I ignore all categories except fly fishing, ponds and fish species topics. I believe that our PB forum could be organized in such a manner.
There is a lot of advertising but doesn’t causes me a problem.
PondBoss ad is a very eye-catching.

My $.002 cents worth.
