OK, this is totally subjective, but I am being completely honest when i say that the sample forum feels very sterile and, well, boring to me. I like the banner ads, they're colorful and reptilecentric and give me chance to do some cyber window shopping (when they work, buts thats different issue) and the sort of jumble of stuff to visually navigate is stimulating to me, like "look at all this stuff!" The new one just feels like logging into my work email.
Just to be clear, for me its not an issue of modernity vs traditional, i'd be totally up for a new look if it was more fun/exciting, this one just screams function over form to me, and this is an enthusiast's forum, i want to feel enthusiastic, not efficient.
I don't see why bp.net would stop having banner ads as it's a source of income
