As far as benefits or SEO I don't think it really matters, if that's what you're asking. However, most of the time I see a .me I assume it's just a gimmicky site so I tend not to take a .me as seriously (and I assume others might share this belief). There's also a percentage of people that see a .me and think it might be foreign. That aside, I guess it makes sense to have a .me as a portfolio or resume site or something about you, but for a message board or community there's a bit of a disconnect.
