It means that as it stands your site is very congested, too many ads going on.

Needs a new banner or maybe a whole new theme? Also I have to scroll half way down just to get to the forum, take out all those extra boxes. and the side bars are distracting as well, full of ads.

Do what I did, put alike boards under a parent board, it will free up space.

well from the site maybe i should use ad managment mod for adsense only and ezblocks html blocks for people that want to advertise.
  so where and where should i place my adsense and what type(text,image or links)
  as for the blocks can i leave the side blocks but move all the leader blocks(shout box,e.t.c) down instead of up.
 
           so i need re-arrangement help and as for theme http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=386550.0

Ads are never good until your forum is huge.
