I'm bored!

- How fast is the BBS growing (ie, how much more memory is being taken up each month)
- How much money is being made from advertising (ie, is the BBS now safe)
- How many swear words are in the 'hit-list' so that the posts have them replaced with *****
- Who typed them in?
- Did you have to pay them to do it?
- How do you get employment in the obscene language industry?
- Have you missed any?
- Do you have a position available - I have quite an extensive list myself?


Regards
James

Advertisers:

Since the original influx of companies we have had no more since. So, I am currently funding the BBS again of my own back ... I hope these stats show how well the BBS is going, and hopefully we can get some more advertisers online.

Thanks for the support.

Actually I made an enquiry via the webmaster address about the cost of banner advertising but received no reply.

Im working through the 100+ mails at the moment!!!

I take it I'll have to e-mail you for the costs and you wont just publish them on the list?? which would be handy!

Post the prices: with a million hits a month, you'd be mad not too (sic).

Good luck with the site! Why not make noises about charging for access? (fixed charge per year, 10 quid? With these types of numbers, could you break even?) If people aren't going to sponsor, and how many companies are there that aren't, perhaps the board needs to look at other options?

It's a great service, and I'd pay a yearly fee to support it.

The costs for banner advertising are 50GBP per month, or 500GBP per year ... All prices are exclusive of VAT.

Why aren't we on
