Not sure if common sense, but I came up with this method and I thought I'd share it.
I'm sure most of you have old accounts on forums that you don't visit much anymore.
Posting links and advertising is usually not allowed on forums, but what you can do is edit your old
posts.
Let say you have an account on a forum where you posted something months or years ago.
If the forum CMS allows you to, you can edit an old post and insert a backlink there. No one is ever
going to notice.
I have accounts on dozens of forums, some of which I haven't visited in 5 or even 10 years, and just
put my links in most of them.
So, go to your main email inbox, search for "forum", find all the forums you used through the years
and go to each of them.
You can even use this method on Reddit by editing an old post or comment.
Or you can join a forum now, post something or reply to someone, and then edit the post a few
months from now.
Please note that not all forums allow to edit old posts, for example, this is impossible to do on BHW
(but I obviously wouldn't do it even
BlackHatWorld if it like
would was).

Isn't there a limited period when you can edit posts?

Not on all forums. Some CMS allow it, some don't, and I think most have an admin setting to allow it
or not.

In here it won't let me edit what I wrote few minutes ago
Do you have a list or something that is working for you?

As I said, it's not possible on BHW. Just login to some forums you used back in the days and see
which ones allow you to edit your old posts.

Wow forum niche edits! Very clever tbh. I would never have thought of this. Some forums don’t allow
to edit old posts though.

Not at all good idea.
You edit your post, then a moderator will come who's already frustrated with his own life and give
your infraction and warning.

They won't notice if it's a months or year old post, and even if they did, this method is meant to be
done on old forums where you don't care if you get banned.

I've been thinking about this method but been scared to implement it.
When I modify a post and it's buried... does it mean admins don't see that I added links there?

It's been a long time since I was a forum admin, but I remember there was no admin notification if
someone edited an old post and added a link, at least not on the CMS I used (phpBB, vBulletin,
SMF, IPB).
However, it's been a few years and I don't know if they added such a thing with updates. Or do you
mean on Reddit? I've never been Reddit a mod, but for sure you can edit posts and comments even
if they are months old.

Sorry... I was talking about forums only (I see no point of having links in old reddit posts).
So on forums, there's no notification? Definitely need to try.
The great thing about this method is that people can still find those old threads through search
engines but admins can't really see them.

Like he said it's not easy to notice. Moderators are mostly busy with presently active threads, no one
is going back looking for your sins from the past. Unless of course the forum somehow notifies the
admin og changes to skme pages.

On some forums there are no limits. While on others like BHW, there are.
