Whatsup man. I checked your forum. I personally think the ad on the top of the page could use a leaderboard ad to substitute what you already have. You want to make sure your ads are noticeable but not in the way of what your viewers are intending to see. I dont think a lot of forum masters know this. But Adbrites Full Page Ads($.01 per view) will help a lot with monetizing a site. Its best to use it in conjunction with Adsense, or you can use it alone. ...Anyways, if you need help with ad placement, I know a lot about that. Contact me anytime alright.
Please excuse any mispellings Ive made in the comment i made above, its 3:18 in the morning where I live(Florida); I dont even know why Im still up lol
Helping people is what Im here for! and the colors like fine to me, maybe a darker blue would be better for the layout - the top page ads need to be a bit more noticeable is all and you should be good buddy.
