its easy to see this site isnt as huge as the others (evom, evox, socal, etc.). if it needs to throw a couple adds up there to keep a float then go right ahead. they dont bother me. i barely even notice them. i like clubRA.
Thanks for your feedback. We made some changes and moved the display banner ad to the bottom of the site and replaced it with a text ad below the first post.
Following Google's best practices, we only show 3 banner ads and 3 text ads per page for logged in users.
the ad line below the first post was the major in your face. I'm fully ad blocked now so it doesn't matter to me anymore. In the first time seeing it though it was what caught my attention of shoving things in my face. the top and the right side i'm used to seeing from other sites and is common.
