Bob, your post is probably overdue.I belong to "several" other forums and everyone has banner type or block adds and support icons for sale. I think it is much needed to stay in business and grow as you mention.You might also consider a volunter type membership where the status is (lunker etc) for different $$ amounts.(not mandatory but on a volunter basis)A symbol(like your trademark) gets attatched by the post name as a supporter. Ford Truck Enthusiasts does this for $15.00 per year.Lawnsite.com has a great format for their advertising and has 25,000 members to date.On that forum if you do not own or have hands on experience with a piece of equipment that you are posting about most likely a negative post will be deleted.(my point is all forums have rules)I also would have no problem paying a fee if a web address is mentioned in a post or my signature like I do already.A discount could be given if one already advertises perhaps. Many ways to go with this as it grows.My 2 cents Ted
