Mark,

ML>once you've seen the same BBS ad over and over and over and over and over an
ML>over and over, etc... they become nothing more than spam... especially when 
ML>same ads are posted more than once a week or even once a month... the premis
ML>that they will attract users is questionable... they definitely will not
ML>attract some users that detest being spammed over and over and over and over
ML>and over again with the same ones... kinda like on television ;)

  I've gotten so where I autopost my ad once a week...some systems
"autopost" their ads several times a day. But, I want people to logon
here because they WANT to...NOT because they have to. I run the BBS for
my enjoyment.

  I've seen some echoes where the moderator has decreed that "a max of
twice a week on posts" will be allowed, but several systems seem to
ignore it. I wonder how many actually read the BBS Ads echo??
