I don't want to sound like I'm trying to advertise for anyone here, because I'm not. I just wanted to follow this up with what I've learned, in case anyone else with what I assume is a "medium sized" forum site like mine finds themselves in a similar situation.

Unfortunately, many Internet advertising companies do not accept "Forum Sites" as publishers. Those advertisers, such as valueclick.com, apparently don't consider "forum sites" to provide valuable or legitimate content for advertising purposes, in the way they do sites that put up static web pages as primary content.

The Internet advertising agencies I've found to be "Forum Site Friendly" and have been accepted by are:

adtegrity.com
adxdirect.com
mammamediasolutions.com

Each of those advertisers are nice, accept forum sites if they meet traffic and content criteria, and will assign you to someone to work with once you're accepted.

Thank you

P.S.: I've not yet moved all my panels over to one of the above sites yet, but plan to do so tonight after work. I'm just saying that in case anyone looks at my site now, sees the Adbrite stuff I have up, and thinks that is what I've gone with. Nope, that's what I'm getting away from.

Thanks again
