You need content, not just a vBulletin setup. There are several discussion boards running for Qatar residents and you're unlikely to tempt readers away from their favourite site (and all their friends) to your site (with nothing).
Find a niche, and work hard. Qatari gave me some figures from when he set up this site, and I don't think he'd mind me sharing them with you. For every 1000 unique visitors, you'll get 10 signups and one comment. If you can keep people visiting your site and provide them with something worthwhile, you can make a success of it.
However, if you're hoping that a new discussion board will draw users away from existing boards, you're going to be disappointed.
This is going to sound a bit patronizing. Sorry.
