Here's a classic BBS ad from 1991

That gold font on the right was from Deluxe Paint, I think

Hard to believe this image would have taken about a minute and a half
to download back then (on a FAST modem).

I love looking at the old BBS-branded GIFs. Who would have thought
back then that 20-30 years later, we'd all be overjoyed that these
SysOps wasted 30-60% of the screen to their gaudy ads?

"The McHenry BBS: Where the Ads Are Bigger Than the Boobs!"

Ha! I do kind of love the BBS style though. Adding a big panel and a
janky logo.  Now I've got to post a McHenry BBS ad!

Did they scan anything that's not NSFW?
