Post comments yourself. Make it look like other people wrote them.

Articles that are hold controversial viewpoints usually guarantee replies.

But I guess my advice depends on what you deem a discussion board. If it's a forum, they're generally very difficult to grow from the ground up.

If it is indeed a forum, i've some some forum owners scrape other forums for topics + comments + users and basically make their forum look active by scraping another forums content.

The 1% rule states that with online communities, 99% of users will lurk and only 1% of users will actually contribute.

This is true for any website, 4chan, Reddit, facebook, 1% of the users make 99% of the posts. You need 100 people to go to your site to get 1 comment. Just keep bringing in people and wait for 1% of them to start posting.

build some reputation in other forums / communities. try to build a fan base or a peer group. then make them want to migrate to your board.
