Search on the web for sites which relate to your forum - email them to ask if they'd mind linking to yours, in return to a link to their site etc.

Also, find blogs which relate to your forum, and either drop the author an email or comment on some of their blogs with a link to your forum.  With a bit of luck, the author might blog about it.
