    Come on guys, is it REALLY necessary to post your add EVERY DAY?? Once a week would be plenty and not be spamming the echo.

    Woo! After annoying the testing echo for a while, I have now made this problem _worse_!

    Well, okay, not really; I've set up my holiday calendar to post a different ANSI every day in the BBS Ads group. And hopefully it's _mostly_ automated, now.

    But I still like that this complaint was the proximate cause for me to do it.

    And, to be fair, I'm not aiming for it to be a good advertisement; I just like the idea of having a daily post to the ANSI base, where it's different every day.

    If anyone else has 370+ appropriate, self-made ANSIs lying around and is running a Mystic BBS, I can offer tips if you want to do something similar.

    No complaints here! A different ANSI each day is cool and gives me a reason to check out the echo. It's the ones that are the same ad every day that aren't great.

    I appreciate it, and yeah, it'd be lovely if people posted random ANSIs, and also lovely if the people who _did_ post ads frequently could wind up with a wider variety of ANSIs.
