No problem.

The thing is you would be having to have some capital first. You can contact a few bloggers for reviewing opportunities and ask them to do the promotion work for you.

IMHO, if you advertise on a site for one month spending $25, a 125x125 can do so much for convincing a blogger. But a review has more power, as in, you can ask a blogger to review the forum and CONVINCE his/her subscriber-base to join the forum.

Or, you can have a mass review campaign for all the members of the forum - something like a contest - where they review bloggeries for something back in return, or a chance to win something great.

Just my opinion though.
