Exactly. That other board has been doing this for years.

This or any other board could offer paid sticky "announcement" threads for a half day, full day, 3 days, a week, and charge accordingly, which would allow smaller programs an avenue of affordable_yet_high_profile ads on as many boards as they wished to purchase from.

I concede there was a little defensiveness, but not without good reason.
