A banner is no big deal at all. I'd say the only good thing about membership fees is that it reduces the troublemakers. I also think that if everyone can put up with the crap that's been going on lately, a little banner is no big deal. I'm sure it's been said, but I didn't want to look through the three pages that are already there. If it's Fiero-related, even better! Except, whatever you do, don't put http://www.fierosite.com on there.  Sorry Galen! Yeah, go for it!

Nothing Animated, and limited to Fiero/car related content and you've got my vote! Try not to take up too much screen real estate (in the black part of the top bar maybe.) Cliff, I may be able to donate some bandwidth (US mirror?) How about both, anonymous member donations, AND banners? Best!

Hey Cliff, If this banner idea flies, which is fine by me BTW, what would be the ground rules? The advertiser provides their own banner? If so, what would be the requirements? as far as image size, file size, animated gifs, flash, what? Also, if all this was brought up because of the banwidth you were eating, wouldn't banners affect some of that too? Compounding the problem? Thanks, ------------------

No problem here. Fiero banners could only help us with our cars.

Cliff,
You have been good enough to provide this forum, and let us all be members and use your web space FREE OF CHARGE. And, on top of that, I don't even own a Fiero.
I have enjoyed being a member, and appreciate that there is a place for me to post my inane drivel for others to see.
You don't need anyone's OK to do what you need to do to keep this forum from being a financial burden to you...but the fact that you asked our opinion about the ads just confirms that you are more than decent and generous.
If it means anything, I welcome the ads, because I know they'll benefit you.
Thanks again Cliff.

Go for it Cliff. I wouldn't do business with 24/7 Media or CMGI though. Your best bet is to sell them yourself to fiero related business' You could have sponsors for individual forums instead of the banners. Such as the "The FieroStore Tech Forum"
