Best approach for a fan message board

Looking for some general direction and advice

I currently run a message board that is a fan forum for a famous music group. This group is on the way up and only becoming more popular, and I have been able increase traffic easily just publicizing the board on social media.

Currently the site gets around 2000 views a day average and growing. I would say around half the visitors are outside of North America.

Currently the board is hosted on a free message board service that has their own adsense and allows the owners limited advertising in addition for free or you can pay to turn off their advertising and add your own. Here are the restricted ad types if you don't pay to remove their ads-
  1. Content-targeted Advertising
  2. Advertising that mimics or copies the look of AdSense advertising
  3. Pop-ups for downloads or that interfere with navigation of the forum
Any other type of advertising is allowed.

It costs $0.18 per 1000 page views to turn off their adsense advertising and add my own

I am inexperienced in this but my first thought is to not pay to turn off ads, and just use the word filter on the board to replace key words with unintrusive links to Amazon using an affiliate ID.

What would you all do in my situation?
