what's the deal with this? It's very annoying and hurts my eyes. I mean if your making money from it, go ahead, but can't you put it on the bottom of the page?

Yes I do make money, and I get a better click through rate if it's on top. I'm planing to redo the whole layout later on and once I do that I'll most likely remove it from the forums and put it in the new layout, right now there's not a way I can put it unless it's the rotator thingy and I rather stick with the big one (more ads = more chance of someone clicking)
I might make it so that registered users only see them on the bottom or something though, not sure. I'm experimenting now. Only problem if I do something like that, it will involve having two copies of the skin, so when I do a change I'll have to do it twice so it will get ennoying.
I might end up putting them at the bottom anyway, not sure.

It's just because it picks up whatever is on the post and tries to target an ad to it. That's why it's been proven successfull on big sites since people are most likely to click.
