The real truth about todays SEO is it's all about Google Search, nothing else. When we say search engine optimization it's Google search we are talking about. Whatever traffic you get from any their search engine is just bonus.

What you said about 'Post for VPS' is good example of wrong SEO. The problem is nobody search for Post for VPS. So ranking for that keyword is totally useless. Same goes for even ranking for post4vps. To have any use the site needs to rank for keyword people use. Like Everyone look for Free VPS also there are plenty of other related keywords. What you get as Google suggestions are what people search for most.
I still remember long long time ago when i was learning about SEO I was thrilled to see my sites rank for keywords I liked. But for months I had no traffic from Google. That taught be the one of the very basics of SEO and Marketing. You cater what people ask or want not what you want.
I do agree about quality post theory in theory but in reality it's really hard to apply for a forum like this. For example a quality post, the whole definition is depend on the person. In general i would say well detailed conversation starter posts are quality posts. But its like that above problem with wrong SEO. what's the point of making amazing quality post if nobody has interest in the subject. For example I have tried to started so many topics about various things. SEO, python etc. But here not many have big interest in these so those haven't given expected result.
Maybe some might think posts related to web hosting would be quality posts. But here not many are experts in that field or wanted to be. Many just want to know enough to run their servers to do what they want. Lets say Those SEO or Hosting posts start ranking in Google. We will get new visitors? Yes we will. How many will join not many. Because they come here to get information or check that tutorial. If they want to join they would go for a specialize place like Blackhatworld.com or webhostingtalk.com. To make it worse forums are not getting popular anymore. People prefer things like FB Groups etc.
So There are things we can do SEO wise to improve the forum but other things too. For example today people use Youtube nearly as much as Google search. Sometimes you search Google and then get a Youtube video at top move on to that and then end up watching related videos. This can be used here too. Like can make hosting or game server related videos and then tell your audience about post4vps at end of the video with a link to the forum. Can even make a channel for post4vps where u can upload some quality tutorial videos. Ofc there is a whole process finding correct search phrases, doing quality video and then pushing visitors this way. Like there should be a good promo copy which doesn't look spammy, for exmaple,
