Yes, I believe we need advertisement because most of the local market traders do not know and do not aware of bitcoin. In my office, direct opposite a clothes and a provision seller ask me what is bitcoin because she saw it on the banner I sample on the street of my office. It was not only she that has asked me but many and I have explained to many as well.

And also for the forum. Let there be no restriction on signature and campaign posts. The restriction is making some boards redundant. Although I really do not know why the restriction was implemented. Well paying for ads slot is not too bad but not everyone who want to make advertisement have the amount, that is an another restriction on interested persons to add ads.
