Type "edu profile" in the search bar on a social news website, such as Digg, Reddit or Slashdot, which will allow you to search for forum profiles of users at .edu sites. Look for a "View Profile of" or "Viewing Profile" link. Click on the profile to see if it is active.

Register a profile of your own on the forum. Update your profile with an image (which may keep your profile from being deactivated) and a signature containing a link to your site.
