If it is in your own forum, perhaps. But not if you do not own the forum (you can only put AdSense on sites you own or are legally permitted to place it on).

Also, most message boards do not allow you to use javascript in posts, so it likely wouldn't work anyway.

Is it your site?

If it isn't your site do you have the right to act for the site for Adsense?

Are you going to post only once per page?

Since you can put it in forums, My first impression would be yes. however, I have been known to be wrong or miss something.

Dude... If I ever went to a forum site where people were using AdSense as their signatures, I would leave immediately.

Please, remember the actual users of your site.

Are you even allowed to post adsense code on forum/message board sites?

Yes, many people use AdSense on message boards.

Since you can only have one AdSense panel per page, you wouldn't be able to include it in your post if it appears elsewhere on that page.

Even if it would work, it's beyond the intended use and IMO an abuse of the program.

Where does it say this?

It's a question, not a statement.

Are you using adsense in your forums already? If so, you might be breaking the rules about having it in more than one place on the page. Youwould also need to be careful not to have your signature show twice if you post twice in the same thread.

Why not just integrate it into the forums so it shows up on all pages?

I would say No but only because your signature may appear more than once on a page.
