Taking two steps backward and then falling onto your face is progress...sort of.
Still dumb, but somewhat less annoying. I guess that's...good?

Until I stumbled upon this thread, I hadn't even noticed them. Then I spent the next 10 minutes cracking up while reading everyone's "adjustments".
Right justified, unbolded looks fine to me.

One more tweak would be to remove the full line beneath and just have a line under the length of the title text on the right.

IB-Dick, I'm not entirely sure three titles are necessary.

So, if we have more of the same words in a thread, that thread will be higher up on google searches? That could make for some interesting phrases being used.

"IB-Dick" should lead to odd ads
The redundant post titles are screen clutter, plain and simple, and this is the only major forum I've seen that's taking this approach to manipulating Google AdSense.
In the advanced reply mode, the titles are still showing up bold and left-aligned.
If you must list a title with every post, how about putting it in the table row to the left of the post number? That kludge, however, doesn't alter the fact that listing the same titles over and over constitutes spam. Surely, a competent PHP programmer could use a thread's posts to manipulate AdSense without changing the content users actually read.

meh. I still don't like the whole idea of it, regardless of where it's positioned. This and the new "pop-up" thing are adding a crapload of clutter where clutter need not be.
