The ads have to pay those costs and the owner should make a few bucks, they aren't going to get rich form it.
? Do you intend to upgrade to vBulletin® 4, it has a lot of nice bells & whistles.
I have seen vBulletin run with paid sponsorships thereby deleting the ads, but that also has issues.

We have held off on vBulletin 4 due to ongoing issues they seem to be working through with this new release. Once we are convinced that it is a solid platform we will move over to it. Even the company (Internet Brands) who owns over 100 forums who purchased vBulletin has yet to convert their own sites over to the new vBulletin 4. So we are continuing with VB 3 as most forum owners are until VB 4 has all the bugs worked out.
