Ive seen a lot of young forums using adsense. What do you guys think about placing ads such as this on your forum right from the beginning? Personally, I think its better to wait until your forum is fully active and has at least a thousand members. What are some advantages/disadvantages to both ways?

Always depends on the weight of the ads.

If it's discreet, you can place them right from the start but if you load your forum with flashing banners and stuff like "Win XXX click HERE NOW", it's not a good idea, no. Even if the forum is active.

If you're planning on putting ads on eventually, I think you might as well do them right from the start, because if your site is adless at the beginning then when you do put on ads people tend to complain. If the ads you're putting on at the beginning are so annoying that no one will join, then chances are they would have killed your site if it was already active and you put them on.
