I have voted no, only reason being I want to be able to promote my forum, a web-design forum, just like others are with blogs.

It's not like I am going to be using some bright red flashing image saying 'oo look we are a lot better come and signup for our forum and ditch this one'. In my signature i'm simply saying 'new design community, take a look if you are interested'

Anyway thats my vote and reason why
