I agree, posting several times a day IS overkill. 

I post my "othernet" advert on here 3 days a week,
Monday/Wednesday/Friday (as
dictated by the echo rules about 3 times a week or less) and my BBS advert is
posted once a day.

I think once a day is good as it gives you more chance to see something you
might miss if it was posted less frequently. I like reading the adverts and
looking at how much care and attention each sysop puts into them. 

I will be more likely to visit a bbs that has a good looking advert with lots
of care and attention than an advert in plain text just saying blah bbs telnet
this ssh that. If the sysop cares enough to put out a good advert, then I care
enough to visit it.

I think that every bbs is great, but what makes them worth visiting
(regularly) is the sysop that runs the bbs. It's like visiting someone in
their home, if you're invited in, take off your shoes and enjoy the company
of the person you're visiting in a nice and well looked after home. 

BBSes are personal, and as such each bbs and advert should have a personal
touch. There's nothing wrong with any of them that are plain don't get me
wrong, I just give my two cents worth.
