Nope they are new in the forum and all placed at the bottom of the pages so they can be avoided to a certain degree. Took me a while to figure out how far not to scroll down. There has always been ads on the site just not in the forums. Many of the other sites I have visited are set up much the way we are now with the banners at the bottom of their forum pages.
