Joe_G.I'm sure the board will continue to be great with or without banner advertising BUT you are at more risk with the change.
It will be more difficult for "the moderator dude" to remain unbiased.
The money, as little as it may be, isn't something you want thrown back at you in one form or another down the road. Not sure how, when, or why, but it will happen.
The advertisers out there have plenty of ways to get our attention with mass mailings (email & snail mail), dedicated websites, eBay, our very own B/S/T, etc. Do we really need another avenue to communicate who is who and who is doing what? The "little guys" are already finding it difficult to maintain their own website, perhaps a small ad Old Cardboard, etc.
I vote against, let's keep the board as unbiased and even keeled as possible. Besides, it violates your "no advertising" policy on anything but the B/S/T page
