I've turned it on and turned it off over there...no real noticeable impact on earnings either way.

Adsense CTR on forums is without a doubt lower than on a "normal" webpage. The theory (which I agree with) is a typical forum member will generate a higher number of pageviews that a typical "website" viewer will which results in a lower CTR. Case in point I've probably already generated a few hundred pageviews here today.

I was just pointing out that the blanket statement "people don't click on ads in forums" is incorrect.
