I have made a template hack for sites that want sponsors...
I added a small table at the top of each post list with {sponsors_ad#} where # is the forum id. Thatway ads can be easily changed simply by going to the "Replacements" section.
Here's the code I put on the forumdisplay template (it has my colors in it right now):
Find This:<smallfont>$moderatedby$onlineusers</smallfont></td>
<td valign="bottom" align="right"><smallfont>$newthreadlink </smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
Add this below it:
<!-- All Forums Network-->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr align="center" valign="bottom">
<td bgcolor="#7189a8" width="100%"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" > </font><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="2" color="#FFFFFF">{sponsors_ad$forumid}</font></td>
</tr>
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="#1c2e48" width="100%" align="left"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="1"><a href="http://allforums.net/sponsors">All
Forums Network Sponsors</a></font></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<!-- -->
I plan on integrating couters to monitor how many times a link has been viewed, and possibly some kind of php interface... I will also change our colors with the proper {color} things where you don't have to change them for each template.. I'll share my nicer code once it's done if anyone is interested..
You can see how we are using the mod http://www.allforums.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=7 I just allow small text link advertising because I don't want to junk up the board...
