how do i make one like that?

Ask the forum owner.

get firebug and look at the source code:

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/SarahBates/minibanner.gif"/>
<textarea cols="15" rows="2"><a href="http://horseworldforum.co.uk" Target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/SarahBates/minibanner.gif" width=88 height=31 border=0 alt="Horse World" /></a></textarea>

Check the HTML source for your own forum and find the section where your forum is (on my forum it looks like this)


...And the raw HTML for my area...

<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="tborder">

<thead>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="5">
<div class="expcolimage"><img src="images/collapse.gif" id="cat_3_img" class="expander" alt="[-]" /></div>
<div><strong><a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=3">News and Announcements</a></strong><br /><div class="smalltext"></div></div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody style="" id="cat_3_e">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="35">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="tcat"><strong>Forum</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="85" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap"><strong>Threads</strong></td>
<td class="tcat" width="85" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap"><strong>Posts</strong></td>

<td class="tcat" width="200" align="center"><strong>Last Post</strong></td>
</tr>
<!-- start: forumbit_depth2_forum -->
<tr>
<td class="trow1" align="center" valign="top"><img src="images/off.gif" alt="Forum Contains No New Posts" title="Forum Contains No New Posts" /></td>
<td class="trow1" valign="top">
<strong><a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=4">News and Announcements</a></strong><div class="smalltext">Catch up on the latest news about the Lost Shadows.</div>

<td class="trow1" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">6</td>
<td class="trow1" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">61</td>
<td class="trow1" valign="top" align="right" style="white-space: nowrap"><!-- start: forumbit_depth2_forum_lastpost -->
<span class="smalltext">

<!-- end: forumbit_depth2_forum_lastpost --></td>

<!-- end: forumbit_depth2_forum --><!-- start: forumbit_depth2_forum -->

</tr>
<!-- end: forumbit_depth2_forum -->

Then what I would do after that part is just copy the code into Notepad (use Dreamweaver if you're not comfortable with raw code) and remove the useless parts. Here is the cleaner version of the above code;

<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="tborder">

<thead>
<tr>
<td class="thead">
<div><strong>Affiliates</strong></div></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<!-- start: forumbit_depth2_forum -->
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top" class="trow1">AFFILIATE CODE</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

</table>

Then add your affiliate links where it says AFFILIATE CODE and copy the code into your Footer? template. I believe its footer... I'm still learning MyBB.

Hopefully you can apply this method to your own theme.
