I have noticed that all the $5 banners from BBS have been removed on all the smaller boards, I think this is a big shame and will hamper the growth of the ecosystem again.

I suggest they reinstate this support at least to the top 50 or 100 boards and spend more time checking to see if boards are within community guidelines.

One can not claim to be a social media platform "owned by it's users" if the owners can move the goal posts at a whim and determine what and how should be posted.

Real strength in community is organic and BBS's job should be to provide "fertile soil" instead of "pruning the sapling" to it's demise.

Please correct me if I have missed something but my question is what is the incentive to join smaller boards if there is no CPM and no way to generate it for board members and owners?

Info covering this subject has now been added to the official update post.
