Earning from forums was not easy even in the good old days. Regular users are bind to ads and visiters comes to read something than bother about ads. Unless the forum belongs to certain niches and highly active with lots of related content getting added every day it's not worth it. Even those old days there were massive forums like DigitalPoint which was only getting around 5k from Adsense revenue. Direct Ads are the best way for forums.
