The Temple of Dagon

In the previous layout, I had a small advertisement box beneath the navigation on the left side of each page.

Now with this new layout, I have moved it near the very bottom. Currently you can only see this on the index page.

I hate advertisements that distract from a page, which is why I try to always keep it minimal. My question is this: Is the advertisement box really ugly and bothersome? Or is it not too bad? Please vote in the poll.

I dont find it any worse really as long as the topic is still appealing to the site's target
