This is a very good idea and one I hadn't thought of yet. If I am contacted by an advertiser who would be interested in providing some banner ads on Daemon News, who should I direct them to? The number of positive/interested responses I have received thus far, outweigh the negative ones and even if we don't succeed at getting a BSD magazine published, we will still have succeeded at getting the word out about the BSDs and the BSD community. The more people who are made aware of the BSDs, the more chance and likelihood there will be for the appearance of a BSD magazine on the news stands in the future.

If advertisers see that putting banner ads on Daemon News helps sell their products, the will be more likely to advertise in a print magazine.
