Even if your suppositions were correct, they in no way mitigate my observation that:

At other forums (similar in concept to Doom9), that accept advertising, you'll even see banners advertising "DVD Shrink 2008", or similar.

Ironic that forums would accept such garbage that could eventually lead to its members getting ripped off...

BTW - Your statement that:

admins of those forums select to have video related ads and it is out of their hands

is incorrect.

When accepting paid advertising through Google (and other resources), should the site administrator desire, many levels of limiting filters can be applied/requested, that would result in the exclusion of various types of ads...
