Building an Online Community for Educators?

valianteffort asks: "I have had a site up on the net for over a year, and have attempted to get educators to respond in a way similar to the comments on Slashdot. My purpose is to build an educational community where educators could go to get advice or just blow off steam. Despite the fact that the site has a relatively large number of visitors I have not been able to entice the lively interaction I am hoping for. Does anyone have any ideas about how to get this interaction started and to maintain it once it gets going?"

Go there. Follow links. They seem to have a pretty solid community. Maybe wandering around their pages and links for a while will get you some ideas. Getting people to participate in a new/quiet public forum is hard.
