Sahring experience and signatures. These were the most important ones for me so far..

Forums are great for branding yourself, getting to know the community
(your target market!) and becoming a contributer to the community, as
well as the backlinks and traffic reasons that have been mentioned.

Once people start to recognise your name, you've got a huge advantage
over your competition. Or, depending on your business models, you've
got a compelling reason for your competition to want to become your
partners!
