Posting within forums relevant to your industry can be vital when first starting out because it helps you gain a name for yourself as a reputable and respected expert within the industry. The clout you can earn on industry forums follows you to your own website, and you gain invaluable allies and friends within your website's industry for years to come. THAT is the true value of forum posting.
Lots of people say that you gain invaluable backlinks from forums. I feel this is no longer the case. If you go out of your way to plug in your posts, you come off as a spammer. Most signature are nofollowed these days, and even the ones that aren't Google pretty much is aware they are forum signatures and doesn't give them much credit at all.
