Can anyone offer helpful hints on how to entice members to visit the forum? Also, non-related forums that have more activity, so how do I post in those areas without pissing off the members and moderator? Keep in mind, I don't know much about chainsaws, or whatever else they might be talking about. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

You contribution is your best advertisement. If you become an authority member based on knowledge help and contribution rather then spam, you can probably see free traffic floating to your site.
By the way, the forum is down at the moment. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem very convincing as a visitor to provide quality input. If the traffic is low on that forum, helping the forum may not even be worth the time.
You should put it in paper and map out the ups and downs in your contribution and by doing some research within your industry. My guesses is that it's very very niche based and out of that niche for those that are involved in forums are probably minimal. However, don't take my word for it...doing your homework first always helps.
