The ASP.NET ad banner software that you have on the top of your forum might not be doing allot but as it is included in every page of your Classic ASP website it will still consume memory for each and every user that connects to your website/forum.
For each connection to your Classic ASP website/forum around 10-20KB of memory is used for that user if you have a second ASP.NET application included in every page then this amount of memory is doubled if not more as ASP.NET websites tend to consume more memory per user than Classic ASP websites.
So every time someone visits your Classic ASP website an Classic ASP session is created using memory, as you also include the ASP.NET Ad Banner software on each page a second ASP.NET sessions is also created using memory, thus doubling up the memory required to run your website.
If you have any specific hosting requirements please create a support ticket so that they can be discussed.
