Create a Blog - Creating a blog for your online community is also a good idea to build the community culture. This can help you gain the trust of your members and also the new visitors who comes to your forum. A good blog will make you a good readers base which will effect positively to your community.

Active all around the niche- Gaining trust of the users all around in your niche is very important if you want to build your own community good. Be active in the most of your major forums, help them with their problems, give replies that will help their members etc. The main purpose to do this is to tell everyone in your niche that you are here to help no matter what happens.

Forum is for sharing- Forums are for exchanging and gaining information so if you are an admin then you should know your limitations. Don't annoy your members by mailing them too much updates, don't use too much advertisements or offers, don't ask money to do a simple post or a simple request in your forum etc. Remember the big boards which now you see are only 'big' because at the starting they had tried to help people and to fill their respective markets with information.
