Copying this from a post made on the general forums:

Follow these steps to remove the WoW Forum advertisement's permanently, including the frame elements, using a FireFox addon called "Remove it Permanently". This will universally filter all ad frames and right-margin elements, effectively reverting the website to its original glory.

1) Install RIP (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/521) or go to the Tools->Add-ons menu and search for the addon from Mozilla's website
2) Create a new text file, name it "WoW.rip"
3) Open the file in Notepad (or any text editor) and copy the following text into the file, then save and close the file...

<Config version="1.0">
<Page name="WoW Forum Ad Ripper" url="*forums.worldofwarcraft.com*" enabled="true">
<XPath comment="">/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr/td/center/div/iframe</XPath>
<XPath comment="">/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr/td/center/div</XPath>
<XPath comment="">/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/div[2]/div/center/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/div/div/iframe</XPath>
<XPath comment="">/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/div[2]/div/center/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/div</XPath>
<XPath comment="">/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td[1]/div[2]/div/center/table/tbody/tr/td[2]</XPath>
</Page>
</Config>

4) Open FireFox and go to Tools->RIP Options
5) Click the "Import RIP..." button and import the "WoW.rip" file you just created.

AdBlock Plus can also permanently remove them. I didn't realize what the fuss was about at first because of it, in fact.
