No follow links in forum profiles hurt search traffic and Ranking ?

This is not true at all. What hurts your site is building links from poor (spam) sites. It's actually good to balance your backlink profile with follow and nofollow links. If you are building only (or at most) follow links, that sends a signal to Google on your optimization motives. Remember, over optimization should be avoided. It's impossible to manipulate Google with that. There's no way. No way. You'd get hit.
 
Hi! nofollow links don't hurt your SEO when it's well-placed and relevant. Though rel=”nofollow” attributes basically serves as a notice sign for search engines that says “don’t count this”, it can still provide valuable referral traffic and attract and send huge amount of traffic to your site/landing page.
