forum to promote

We all know that the Forum is to promote the registration of a ID, send post, is the right forum to do is to promote these efforts.
but now more and more forum added a number of anti-spam measures behind the scenes. and what is more you can not add your links in the thread or the comment.

However, without  the links , how can the reader  know the website? how can I PROMOTE my website?
and i am sure ,if i do not tell you my website is greatjersey.com, this thread will be no use for my website link building?

Am i right?

what is your opinions ?
should I give up forum?

No, you should not leave forums... You can get signature links which will point to your website. And I support the ban on posting links on threads...
