FWIW, IMHO, YMMV. . .

I'd much prefer having the majority of posts in here be posted by the sysops themselves, with a brief intro written at time of posting to introduce the prepared ad.

Maybe a Subject code to indicate original/new content, like:

[OC]: ABC BBS(telnet,html) is open

Hey, guys, had 14 callers & 1 new user since I posted last month on this date.

insert prepared ad here<<<

I suggest a summary of connection methods & addresses at the very bottom

Respectfully suggested, as a 20+ year veteran of BBSing & Fidonet, from back before the internet was for everbody! (I still managed to use it, too, though, but I far preferred BBSes)
