I guarantee you will get your shit ripped if you do that at the Penny Arcade forums. It would be doing more harm than good.
Most places, no matter how otherwise Errant Story friendly, might react similarly especially if you are not already a regular/respected poster on the target site. Some would tear a strip of you even if you were already a regular/respected poster...
If you are a regular on a relevant forum, then I would suggest a message in your sig would be more appropriate - people will see it in your normal posts and spreading news of a cause in a sig (or just hawking your wares/opinions generally) is usually far less frowned upon than opening off-topic threads for it. Of course you'd need something shorter than Itterind's suggested text to avoid breaking sig size rules. Perhaps a link to a page of your own to explain in more detail if needed.
Oh, and if you do any of the above make damned sure that is it blindingly obvious that it is you that is spreading the word of your own volition and it isn't a campaign orchestrated, managed, explicitly encouraged or implicitly encouraged by the Powers That Be.
Remember that the Internet can often exaggerate some undesirable human characteristics like putting 2 and 2 together to get anything other then 4, reacting badly to the result, and taking any attempt at reasonable explanation as meaning the explainer is part of the Grand Conspiracy... - and you don't want to accidentally direct some of that at Poe and Impy.
