I know there are a lot of discussion forums already, but some areas seemed to be a bit lacking, at least in the Irish market.
I’m not sure how successful a dedicated webmaster site would do, as I’ve seen quite a few of them start up over the years and then fizzle out.
As I already run Search.ie I thought I’d add a webmaster and online marketing forum.
Some people might argue that there are other forums catering for the Irish market, but I’d still like to see how well a new one could do.
I’ve created a few basic discussion topics (boards) but would love to hear people’s feedback.
If you want to blatantly self promote please feel free to use this forum, which I setup specifically for self-promotion 🙂

Nice idea Michele, I know how hard it is to kick start forums so i’ll try and be fairly active/talkative there for a while.
Good luck

Thanks 🙂
Nice to see another person posting

In my (very limited) forum start up experience, the less boards you have the better and easier it is to build. Only create a new board when the first is getting too busy.
blacknight says
Alan – Do you think I’ve created too many to start with?

There seems to be some great topics coming up on the forum. It also seems that seo-ireland.com has died. The search.ie forum could be a great alternative for Irish webmasters.
michele says
Maybe so, but how do you get people to start using it?
Or should I move it onto its separate domain?

I’ev just registered (under a new name), i’ll try and visit once in a while if I can- I used to spend a LOT of time on such forums till I lost interest in web design. Trying to get that interest back now.
