Do you have a budget to invest into the forum? The most difficult thing to do is get that initial activity- even with traffic, this is unlikely to convert into registrations and new posts unless there's existing conversation visible on the forums. Mixing your investment between SEO to drive traffic, and perhaps paid posters and/or signing up to things like postloop as suggested above may be required.

I have done some mod work, but what type of mod work are you looking for specifically?

Used it before for several projects- success varies, mostly dependant on popularity of your niche and whether or not people who aren't particularly clued up about your forums subject will understand it enough to participate.
