It's significant because of the mobs of people who were angry at Blizzard's decision to advertise on a forum where a monthly fee is required to post. One of the more prominent arguments was that a third party company is responsible for serving the ads, and that would make them a liability. The argument was laughable if you look at it rationally - Blizzard is not going to take a laissez-faire approach to these ads, they're going to be very involved with making sure the correct content is shown.

However, if I was in management, one of the key points I would have made to the third party company would be - "Don't fucking EVER let gold ads show up here!" I'm sure everyone at Blizzard knows how bad it looks for that to happen, especially this soon after they introduced the forum ads.

You don't pay a fee to post on the forums. You pay the said fee to play the game. The forums are just a bonus. Blizzard has the right to post all the ads they want. They can also shut down the forums and make it so no one can post.
