I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't run banner ads on your site. Most people do.

The only thing I can think of is that you've got a huge list of forums and maybe between the large page and the banners it's somehow timing out the web sever before completing the whole page.

I couldn't tell what version you're running because you removed the infopop copyright notice in your footer. Note that the license agreement states you may not remove that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Who told you that the banner ads were the culprit? How are you serving the banner ads up? Are they static or are you using banner ad software or some sort?
