There are so many different ways to deliver ads though - You may be limiting yourself thinking that all you can do is banners and text links...But you can do more such as newsletters (emails), stickied threads, "sponsored forums", and more.

| Depends on your site content I guess. Do you offer a service that people wouldn't mind paying $5/mo for your services? | ||||

Depends on your forum but with mine I offer PWs to normally paid sites, movies that just came out in theaters for DL, new music CDs for DL or AV software that you would normally pay for thats got keys. Mostly its whatever they want and I find it for them. | ||||
