Exclamation Attracting More Members
This forum has been going for a couple of months now, but the membership level has been quite slow to grow.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to get more members I'd love to hear them

Don't both of those sites have strict anti-advertising policies?

I'm still toying with the idea of using the other domains that I bought for this... a nice little 301 redirect would make it all quite painless

maybe you could approach a few sites/newspapers and offer to write some articles on SEO or Hosting or "insert tehnology" for their site/paper in return for a credit and a referral to your site?

I've a growing number of .ie. .com, eu, .co.uk and some other bizarre extensions personally, while the company owns a silly number of domains across a very wide range of extensions

In my opinion a move to another domain would probably gather more interest. Using a subdomain from a search engine is a bit misleading. Many people could very easily dismiss it as an exclusive tech support resource for users of the search site.

You could rather easily merge your speed test site with your webmaster forum, take a lot of your blog content and create the most extensive Internet users website in Ireland.

Redirect all over the shop then!
