It's good to have this kind of original, motivated and well-explained answers! This is useful for the thread and this generates more answers/debates/participation.

You see, if Mojo, didn't answer, I would not post this, because I would not have what to comment. His answer gave me a reason and 'energy' to post more!

I'd like to focus on the our concrete topic (because the ads themselves are a very big and very 'endless 'one).

Let's assume that we can't avoid the ads in question. Then what are our options?

Waiting for some ideas.

 I'm just thinking out loud:

• Donations. As it was mentioned a few times already -- it's bad to beg for money like some other websites, which use this terrible strategy:
  1. They attract many users somehow.
  2. Those many users post/type (or even more work -- for example correct, edit, etc.) for free.
  3. Then the site-owner (site-owners) think that it's not enough that those many users visit them (generate traffic for them, making the website popular) and it's not enough that they post/write/etc. for free (generate content, which attracts more visitors and enlarge the popularity and the value of the site) and THEN they start begging for money : Donate, because if you don't the website is gone; support us with your donations, otherwise the site you love so much will never exist again; when you need us, we were here for you, now we need you! (These are periphrasis.)
  If we want to have some respect to people here, who spend and bring to us their time, labor (typing/posting) and visitation, then IT'S abnormal and greedy to ask them also to PAY for it! If they're co-owners, it's okay to share the spendings, but usually almost all of them are not!
  I think it's worse than the slaves. The slaves are working for free, but they don't pay and they even have some water to drink and some food to eat!
• Money for propaganda. I heard, I read many, many, many times that there are (in different places and countries) people, hired by some propaganda authorities in an attempt to shape public opinion to the benefit of the certain party, movement, ideals, etc.
  Till today, nobody like this contacts me to hire me for some kind of this job -- you just post online to protect/advertise/etc. something or somebody and you get paid for every your post, every single day!
  And I'm online since 1998 as far as I remember. I posted in Bulgarian websites, in Russian websites, in American websites, in Chinese websites and NOTHING!... Nobody offered me something so sweet! (I don't want to say that I'll accept 100% of these potential offers -- for example I'm not going to propagandize racism, chauvinism, terrorism, etc., but why not something good like humanism, socialism, communism, etc.?)
  So, I do not expect this forum to receive this kind of economical support. (Like: "Write pro-vegan articles and you'll get $1000 per month." or "Post how great is this or that political movement and you'll get $5000/day.")
  Don't hope at all about it.
• What else? Start selling seo-forum-seo-luntan merchandise (stickers, mugs, pens, T-shirts, etc.)? Ha!

Maybe somebody else can add something to this list?
