Since I previously said that the website would never have any ads on it and it now does I thought I would take a moment to clarify what happened
The ads on the main site replace the ads on the YouTube embed videos, so you don't get interrupted mid-video. They will also not be visible to logged in users once the new site gets built. As a perk you will now be able to download or stream each video/playlist directly in 720p MP4 format from my site which should help people on mobile devices and with slow connections. The entire folder of videos (206 in total) is over 20GB so there will probably have to be some limit on how many you can grab in one go or something.
tl;dr Don't worry I'm not going all commercial just yet
I honestly don't like how it is the first thing you see here. What you might want to do is put it as a footer on the forum because then you get A LOT of page views
A "First post separator is weird." but you could have a top page advert and maybe a bottom one. And if you feel like you can have one on the right side of the page, but I'd go with the top and bottom ones only

The problem with those is that they are bloody irritating The new site will have a much less intrusive place for them, still none on the forum though
