How about a different ad each day for the same bbs. That might be one way to have your cake and eat it too.

One day might be a text ad, one day might be an ansi ad, one might be a colored text ad. etc.

Yeah, this discussion made me think about sending my ANSI calendar through it.

So far my attempts aren't going great (see FSX_TST), but I like the idea.

Admittedly, my primary goal would probably be more about sharing an ANSI a day, rather than advertising my BBS, but thankfully it's the appropriate base for that, too.

I like the idea too. The idea of having a fresh ANSI gfx to check out each day would get me to check out the echo more often. Right now I only check it out ever few weeks or so.

Yes please! And if you don't have a different ad you only get to post twice/month.

I check it 3 or 4 times/week and it makes me sad.

I need to update 2oFB to do this; I have plenty of ANSi/ASCII assets these days... yet I'm still using the same old ANSi advert I setup 3 years ago.

Hmmmmmm.

I show a random ad from a set of 9 soon to be 10. I also have a text ad I show occasionally.
