As in posting on other forums? It isn't going to be the miracle cure for SEO rankings, but backlinks never hurt and the essentially free promotion is always nice. I can't say that I would join a forum I disliked and suffer through posting just to get my link out as there are much better options.

Only problem.... many forums have links in their threads shown as
nofollow, which kills the backlink attempts that occur when using one or multiple links to a site in a post.

simple fact is... by default, XF links in posts are no-follow.... so spamming them links in posts ultimately do no good to gain search engine tracking.
I agree.
At one time, getting backlinks on a forum might had been "possible" but essentially the abuse of doing that has made most links 'No Follow'. I don't even offer guest bloggers a do follow link on my blog. Their contribution isn't meant to be a backlink generator.
It's a poor way to get links depending on a forum to spam for those links. You should be on a forum to be a part of that community otherwise, why waste a membership?
