As other people have already posted, the founders of Quora and Reddit have admitted to generating "fake" content on their own to attract users to the site. Reddit supposedly did this for the first few weeks until it got going. I also remember reading that Quora put in a lot of hours generating the "fake" content, but it has seemed to pay off quite well. When looking at your community, find ways that you and your friends/cofounders can easily generate lots of hiqh-quality content. It's important to set the tone of the site when you're generating the content. If you make lots of spam or low-quality content due to time constraints, the site will get a poor reputation and new users will continue the trend of making bad content. So make sure you generate the content wisely from the beginning :)
