had a quick idea - not sure if its that good or not
but maybe you could have "categorys" so say i submit an advert for "web development" and someone posts for "gardening" (couldnt think of anything)
person C, could then select "Gardening" ads, and would only show Person Bs ads, as it would then relate to the persons website
better than having loads of irelevent ads

New Ad System Currently Being Tested on this Forum
Due to some issues with using Google Ads in Web Wiz Forums we will be
moving over to using our own ad system in Web Wiz Forums from version 8
which will be servered from our own servers.

What happened with Google Adsense? Was something with WWF a violation of the Terms & Conditions or something else?

Interesting.. so am I to understand that if I had a site mysite.com that I would not be able to have a google-like, a webwizforum-like adsense of my own? ie. ads from mysite.com etc...?

No Google have now asked that I monitor every site that uses Web Wiz Forums with Google Adsense and with 1000's of downloads every week this would not be possible. I also want to avoid future issues with Google incase they change their mind again in the future. This is something that I planned on doing before Google Adsense was introduced, the Google Adsense that Google offered and setup was just an easy stepping stone to see if it would work before I got round to developing web wiz guides own ad system. This recent issue has just given more motivation to get the system up and running sooner. Perfect trimming really, just in time for the full version 8 to be released.

No, not at all, I'm just saying that all pages on Web Wiz Guide will have ads on them. By using the Web Wiz Guide's own ad system in Web Wiz Forums is better for the end user as it means you can now also have your won Google Ads on your forum without breaking Googles Adsense terms.

Its more of a matter of control. If Google Ads are embedded in WWF's freeware version code, Borg cannot change it once its downloaded from this website. By building his own ad system, he has control of what displays and what doesn't, and has more control over changing the ad system.
Also, if you are larger, like Web Wiz Guide, you have enough traffic to command decent prices. Why split it with someone else (i.e. Google) if you can run your own and make more money?
Also, there is the fact that Borg cannot control what webmasters who download the adware version of WWF do. Google could ban WWF because some person who downloaded the forum decided to click on all the ads too many times.
No, its better if Borg creates a system he can control better, and he has the ability to make such a system. :)

$30~$50 a month. Maybe more if there is a way to view how effective the ads are.
