Okay, I guess that I'm so new to this that I have to ask....I did see the link ads at the bottom of your above post. And yet, when I visit any of the embedded site examples on here, I didn't see any ad links on any of those sites.
And just for giggles I went to another site (where I'd first seen Nabble in use, which is what got me here) and nowhere in any of their forum threads or messages do I see ads regardless of whether the message is the first in a thread or otherwise.
So are there in fact ads but they are somehow turned-off on these sites?
The fact you saw the ad should be proof there are ads. Whether they are generated when posts are generated from other sites or not I have no idea. The first post in this thread was created directly on Nabble.
After further study, here is the way it is working. If you view a thread in threaded or chronological view then each message has the ad at the bottom. If you view it in the "All Messages" view then you will only see the ad after the first message.
There is then the ad at the very bottom of Nabble pages.
As it relates to the ads within messages, it seems those ads should be targeted to the audience. For instance, hair treatment sounds more appropriate for medical forums or something like that. Programming and development environments, computers, etc would seemingly fit better in the NetBeans, Java, etc forums.
Too, the ads should not look as if the message poster submitted the ad. It should be clear that is an ad generated by Nabble. What if the ad looking like it came from the poster contains subjective material or some competing companies products and folks think the person posting the message sent the content? That can cause some problems, and should be addressed.
