I don't see them. There's probably an X button to collapse/remove it.

Thanks NuitTombee! Yes, I've tried everything I could think of to get it removed. No luck.

What magic did you use, 'cause there's no way to do anything to those banners.

Updated from "Default" to "revolution" and those banners are gone.

Guess I will browse in night mode for now.

Agreed, revolution is fine aesthetically but too damn dark for me. Vienna just does not work. Period.

I got fed up, and had two paths open to me. Path one was redirect thefanfictionforum.net to pornhub, option two was to write/copy a quick script to remove this nonsense. While I was at it I removed an ad banner because Fuck You!

Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name         New Userscript
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       You
// @require      https://gist.github.com/raw/2625891/waitForKeyElements.js
// @match        thefanfictionforum.net/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    $('div.bam_announcements').remove();

    var badFrameSrcSnips = [
    //-- These are case-sensitive 
    "https://forums.icyboards.net/icyboards_ad.php?s=728h"
    ];

    for (var J in badFrameSrcSnips) {
        var srcSnippet  = badFrameSrcSnips[J];

        waitForKeyElements (
            "iframe[src*='" + srcSnippet + "']", removeBadDiv
        );
    }

    function removeBadDiv (jNode) {
        //-- Replace the bad div (iframe's parent) with a tame one.
        jNode.parent ().remove();
    }
})();
