Just a quick update, you can now try the finished hack here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202010 works from 3.5 upto 3.8, I've added a few banners for trial purposes in the zip file, You can use the same hack more than once, say in the header, In between forums, in the footer your choice.
theres a file for Affiliates,(Commision Junction and others) sign up to one and start earning real money
You can also change the Banner size and display time to use Skyscraper Banners for side columns.
