Well, anyone adding the nofollow link to every single link in their site is a little silly regardless really.

This hack applies the attribute to links posted by (and in the signatures of) members of Usergroups defined by the admin. It does not affect board-wide links or template links or anything else.

How that would tell the engines that the forum is nothing but a collection of free-for-all pages is beyond me. Please explain.

Or did you totally miss the point of this hack?
