That's exactly what you get when you subscribe to Ars Technica:

You also get full-text RSS feeds and the occasional bit of content exclusive to subscribers, as well as some other (less noteworthy) perks.

This seems to imply that ads are not served only on the forums. i don't care about the forums. or rather, i want an ad free option on the entire content of the site, not a segment.

Are you sure? On the same page, they say:

"Banner-free browsing on Ars Technica means no distractions, just content. Better yet, the ad-free pages are optimized so there are no "holes" where ads used to be. It's a tighter experience."

No ads anywhere on the site. It's fantastic. :)
