Just throwing this out there, but it might be an idea to have a fully functional, tested, and final stage website/forum before trying to convince those from an existing fully functional forum to head on over to yours.
I'm fairly sure it's not something that'd be taken to kindly by the administration...though I don't personally even hear from them to confirm this.

As a long time member and newly appointed moderator - it's not something I'm personally inclined to act on - provided you keep this to one thread, and if I get reports about you badgering any members via PM or whatever, then we will have some issues - so you've been "advised".

This place has a lot of history, and is still relatively active even if only in comparison to other's I've observed.
I think the thing is, forums have had their heyday, I don't really believe you're going to bring something that innovative to the table that you'll be any more, or even as much a success as this place is currently.
I long ago came to the conclusion that forums, as much as I frequented them in the past, are largely dead. I've seen many try.

Hey, good luck though.
