Well, there are plenty of Fiero related vendors on here getting a LOT of free advertizing already. Most of us find out about them via this Forum and as they are making money from your efforts (indirectly maybe but cash is cash), have you considered something like a professional subscription say for commercial members.
Otherwise if you gotta take adverts to keep this most excellent forum up and running then you have to do whatever it takes.Just a thought. Dave E http://www.ltlfrari.com

Why not limit the bandwidth? As much as I like your allowing us to post pictures why not put a limit on it, I have no idea the amount of pictures I have posted here in the last year, if possible I link to another site but I would not be against posting limits. Even post limits on the forums would not be too bad, it would make us think before we post some of the crap that gets put on here.

Not a bad idea, maybe charge a fee for the use of the Fiero Parts Vendor section. The club I'm in has a newsletter which charges a reasonable fee for monthly ads. Cliff, if it helps you and keeps the forum going go with banners.

You just might see a bidding war for the right to advertise here, as I would be more willing to make purchases from a business that supports this forum! Do it!

Cliff, do what you've got to do in order to keep your financial situation on an even keel, and hopefully the forum can continue to exist at the same time. Also, let us know if just having the banner visibe will generate the needed revenue to keep things rolling, or whether we need to click on it when we see it in order to keep the cash heading your way - I know I'll click on whatever I need to in order to keep the ball rolling around here.  ------------------

Definely go for it, One thing that I saw before on another site that worked great and that may work here, create a link to a banners page with about 5-8 banners on it, that way people can go to the link and click them freely when they are surfing here. The good things about that is that they are not "forced" to click a banner, but its completely up to them if they click the banner link. Also it does not clutter up the forum you try so hard to keep clean. I know I would definely click the banner link when im bored here at work. Also Im sure everyone else who cares about the forum will also. so I vote YES for banners
