Maybe some phpBB add-on. Look on the admin control panel for one.
Or just a raw file edit. There are probably guides on this all over google so you should try searching.

First, you need to sign up to an advertising provider like AdSense or AdBrite. You'll be given some instructions on how to set up an account, in which you have to provide personal details including your name, DoB and address. They need your address so that they may send you cheques periodically upon the required quota being met (AdSense's quota is $100, AdBrite's is a variable that you can set).
(Note: You have to be 18 to use these services, if you aren't, then you are not legally allowed to use them).
Then, when you've done that and followed the instructions, you can find a guide on how to do it here. It basically entails opening up some of your files and then placing the Code in the correct places, nothing too challenging.
After that, give the ads a few hours to start generating based on your forum's content, and wallah. An advertisement banner on each of your pages.

Easiest is to place the ads in the style code.
Then perhaps a few ifxxx styledefs for different kind of ads depending on the user. (e.g unregistered have a big ads and registered users have small ads or none at all)
And control those styledefs with some basic php

I got accepted for AdSense last night, Also, I was reading that thread you linked me to earlier, I can't seem to find the files they're talking about (index_body.tpl, viewforum_body.tpl) I did see those files but named "tpl_acidtech_viewtopic_body.(H/tml).php" (AcidTech is my forums style) Tried looking for what they said to find, but it wasn't there, maybe 'cause we're in 3.0.5 now and that was for 2.0.17 o.o

Oh, right. The files you'll want to find are located in root\styles\stylename\templates
You'll want to edit index_body.html, viewtopic_body.html and viewforum_body.html. Play around with the code to find the place where you want the ads.

| If you're using PHPbb3.0.5, they'll be there, you just aren't looking in the right directories.
