Plus with so many of these companies coming and going (and farming out their work to parts unknown), I find the first 20 posts are good and natural etc but then they go downhill fast.
The only time I have found it even remotely effective is after you have sent out a newsletter to all your members, basically to get the wheels turning. In the end though, if people aren't interested they just end up leaving after a few days regardless of the amount of activity.
As far as people just starting out, I think its pretty much a waste a money. Forums aren't for everybody and you can probably create a few hundred AdSense and Affiliate sites AND promote them in the time it would take to have an even semi succesful forum.
Forums make very little money compared to the time needed vs. a million other online business models.
