It's dishonest to open a window that a significant portion of your users don't even know is open. If you don't want to use real estate on your forum's frame, then do a popup where it is visible and can convert views into clicks (many advertisers pay more if there's a better conversion rate). I consider pop-unders as dishonest because the advertiser is paying for the ad to be seen, but you're not providing the promised service.
