    You will probably get a wide range of answers on this one, but I say stay away if you can get backlinks elsewhere. Just my two cents.

    No, it's not blackhat and yes you should incorporate it as a part of your backlinking plan.

    No, it isn't black hat unless you've got something really bad@$$ up your sleeve.

    If you're wearing your black hat, make sure you're a hell of a magician, otherwise Google will school you

    I'm not sure what forums you are going to, but i'm not breaking the rules when putting up a profile. Check out the standard/boilerplate signup TOS at VBulletin or the other major forums when you get a chance.
