What they are really good for?!
Posting forums is the best way to introduce your website to other people and tell them why they should visit your website. There is thousands of forums on the web today, so you need to choose very well what forum you are going to post, and what forums to avoid. That way could be at help some of those software which telling us details about websites, as it is link popularity or page rank. You may also use a small freeware software All Forum Finder which will help you to determine what particularly forum is about, or how many members they have. From my experience it is only a few dozens of forums that are really good and they will really help you introducing your website and eventually driving the traffic to it.

all over the web by providing you a list of the most useful webmaster's forums on the web today. The list you may see down on this page, or just download the best webmaster forums list here. It provides direct URL of the best forums you can find on internet that uses dozens of thousands webmasters to drive the traffic on the new websites. Of course, under certain conditions...
There's very rigid rules
of use on the forums that you need to follow if you plan to be their member longer then couple of days. Main rule is to avoid spam, nobody won't tolerate it!!! Then, don't
lie or falsely present your self or your website, don't violate copyright and be original, always try to be helpful providing useful information and try to offer something free, everyone like free things. Do NOT state your self as website, but state your self as private person and then link to your website if there is something free or good for web community. Don't try to cheat and avoid participate internet frauds, be good-mannered and avoid dirty language in communication with other members and generally. Soon or later you will experience distasteful comments after your post... It will always be indecent members who think that they have right to mock and spit on you just because of some incorrect thought or small grammar mistake you have done. No matter how much you will be offended, do NOT involve your self in discussion with them, not for any reason, but if is still the fact that you have wrong about something in your post, just correct it for your own good.
What time will that take?
I can't tell you how much time it will take, it depends on how much effort you will put in this, but I know for sure that great amount of traffic comes directly from webmaster forums, definitely more then it comes from SE. That's good enough reason to point your activities in that direction. I know from my experience, about 50% of traffic comes from forums, about 30% from SE, about 15% from other websites which links back to me, and about 5% is everything else. But this is only my case, and I know the best how much effort I put in it. Remember that traffic building is hard job generally, and it always takes long time to show some results. So, driving traffic from forums is also slow process, but it works... If you do it right way!
