I don't think it's fair to just say "get rid of the ads". You should always be able to monetize your site somehow...

That said, they are a bit invasive... That might be solved with a redesign you've said you'll probably give in to :)

seriously, the first thing such a site need is a ton of users. and you'll get them faster by removing the obstrusive ads. then it should be rather easy to monetize the site -- doesn't even have to be google adwords...
