    Populating threads into hot spots that are well known sometimes can make your forum visitors "ad-phobic" mix it up with other creatives if possible.

    Well, you could see what DP forums do and learn from these...

    You could also do some research and see what other forum owners do (like setting up 160x600 on the left side can work in some forums).

    You could also consider Kontera (or other "word underliner" ad program).

    As for more tips, check out how I quadrupled my CTR - some tips that might be useful for you.

    Try to improve the design or to have some change in the colors.

    Place a large rectangle between header and navigation bar.. that may increase the CTR.

    actually providing the link to the forum might help.

    Then why not use similar template they have?

    By the way, you gotta remember that your audience is a factor too. For example, tech-savvy people might click less compared to less-tech-savvy...
