This idea has come up before. I'm somewhat leery of it, but not strictly against it. Especially since the option to turn the ads off already exists.
I think the biggest obstacle is Paragon Studios having someone handy to sort through the inevitable tidal wave of entries.
Never surrender! Never give up!
Help keep Paragon City alive with the unofficial City of Heroes Tabletop Role Playing Game!
This is a terrific idea. Well put, StormSurvivor.

Put them all in a queue. Submitting approved billboards can be automatic, or you can pay to have yours on the boards for X days at a time.

I thought this too, but I thought it an alternative if the idea was plausible, but people sending in their own adverts was not.|

This sounds like a sweet money sink to me I would be so game and actually want to make some really good AE arcs just so I could advertise them and actually know other people would know they existed.|

Also those contest Dr.Aeon has for AE sometimes could win automatic advertising on the billboards cause alot of people don't use the forums so arent aware of cool stuff like that.
Sounds good, it also provide a more realistic look to the game. There are only a few billboards throughout the city. i would think in a city like that there would a ton, but of course it would get in the way of flying.
My apologies if this is a common request; my searching found nothing.
As the real-world advertisements feature fell on its face shortly after being put into the game, I see here a feature being wasted.
I think that with all the real great arcs out there, the real-world advert system should be used to advertise custom-made AE arcs, complete with picture, title, and arc ID for easy findings. Perhaps with the AE logo watermarked in the corner for realism or something. Whether it was something that was made by a staff member of NCNC that was limited to Dev's Choice Arcs only, or if it was a feature where we, the players, could make and send in our adverts to be 'chosen', I would love to see these billboards put to better use.
The idea of flying through the city, seeing an interesting picture, and noting down the arc ID to try out later really makes me quite excited, so to see something like it being implemented would be just dandy.
