How about once a month?

There's a big difference between zero advertisements and non-zero
advertisements. I don't think anyone is suggest you don't advertise. But
posting the exact same ad multiple times a month in a message area that only
gets advertisements to begin with seems a bit excessive - like you're trying to
flood the area with *only* ads for *your* BBS. Then it becomes a competition
among sysops: who can post ads the most frequently? Let's try not to go there
is all I'm saying. You won! You can post the most frequent! Now, kindly slow it
down. Or not. Whatever. :-)
