Certainly possible but another explanation is that it's a leftover
popup or popunder from another window in your browser -- perhaps
one you just closed. I've seen the phenomenon occasionally and
wondered about it. Another possibility is that it's due to the
forum software, especially if it's "free" or "share"ware. In my
case, I check my system regularly with Malwarebytes and
continuously run Avira Antivirus so I am pretty sure that Malware
is not a cause of the ads.
Are you seeing the ads? Especially on:

I am seeing the ads on both a Mac G5 running IBM RISC chips using
Safari, and an Intel based Win 7 system using I.E. It is very
unlikely the same virus is infecting both environments.
