[Forum] Blend in or stand out?

[newyorker]

That is the question.

What do you prefer or thinks gives a better conversion?

If you would like to review: http://www.mobilepunk.com/forum
On the frontpage (left) of the forum it stands out.
Inside the forum (after the first post) it blends in.

Please tell me what you think is best and tell me why you think so.

Thank you.

Yes. Sorry.
I am upgrading to 3.6 at the moment!

And it is back up!

I usually get crappy CTR no matter what I use :p but I find that blended ads get more clicks.

The blended ones looks ok to me, only you can tell which works better for your site

Blend in ads look better but I don't sugest having a dedicated "box" for the google ads.
