    No multiple times per week probably gains you nothing. Posting once a week or twice a month is probably just as good. People who post them every day usually get on people's nerves.

    I used to do daily, but I've seen the light and have since eased off.


    daily ? jesus christ. you're probably the reason rob changed the crc checking.

    are new. Even if the same stuff pops up daily, it takes only a few seconds to skim through them in my message scan. Not a big deal really.

    would be nice to have users, though.

    I've settled on weekly ads, and rotate between a couple different ones, plus occasional ads around holidays just for fun.

    Overall I like seeing ads, because I like seeing ANSI even if I've seen it before, plus it helps to know which boards are still around and which boards are new. Even if the same stuff pops up daily, it takes only a few seconds to skim through them in my message scan. Not a big deal really.

    You have hit on a reason or two why I like seeing them. I can remember
    back in the 1980s/90s when we used to have very active ANSI art echoes that contained art from even non-sysops. I still do enjoy seeing ANSI art, and
    I enjoy the ads when sysops switch them up a little bit every now and
    then. ;)

    Is there a return on investment posting BBS ads like multiple times per week feel like once a year is plenty.

    I asked the same thing :)

    I ignore the ads.

    If there were far fewer, I'd probably pay attention. I guess its like all advertising. The less there is, the more impact it has.

    I mainly meant for FTN ad echos. I think my ads in DOVE-Net have always been weekly for as long as I've been posting them.
