Well, rather than heeding the advice of all the armchair lawyers -- here's Google's TOS regarding Ad Placement:

No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email.
No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.
Elements on a page must not obscure any portion of the ads, and the ad colors must be such that any ad elements, including text and URL, are visible.

Would it be posible to put the ads (pirticularly Google) into a content page, or post, on my site? Not just the forum home or dislay thing. If there was then that would be great.
There are so many of these great mods but alot of them don't comply with googles strict TOS which is very annoying for me as I like to do things by the book. So if there was a way that you could use this on actual content pages or posts within my forum then that would be great. For now I will install and use a different ad provider for the forum listing. Thanks.
Man, Google lists their TOS for all to see. There is no 'guessing'. Read them. Also, people seem to think Google is a big evil monster who will ban you overnight and devour your children.
The Google AdSense team is quite helpful and informative. You're free to set your site up however you like and then request a 'site check', where someone from Google will verify ad placement and let you know if you're in violation of the TOS or not. They will then give you a time frame (usually 30 days) to comply or risk removal from the AdSense program.
I've been using placement similar to this for almost 2 years, and I've had at least half a dozen 'site checks' performed. Each time I've been within Google's TOS. Stop assuming. Start reading.
