I have to be honest. When I first came here, I was surprised at how many different kinds of services were being advertised in the marketplace.
Besides casinos and (once upon a time) mixers, I found exchange representatives, VPS hosts, proxies, ad networks, gift cards, SMM panels, temporary email services, and even some art galleries.
And of course the token projects but I don't visit that section of the forum.
It makes me wonder, what other forums are there with this sort of versatility, great as advertisement venues? I know at least one, but obviously I would be open to hearing about others.

That's a weird criteria for a forum - to be an advertising platform. Other forms of social media are likely more suitable to this.
For me forums have always been about discussions. If the forum owner wants to make some cash to offset their costs by hosting some ads - more power to them. But turning every thread into a never-ending billboard seems extremely counterproductive. It's great that Bitcointalk is still alive despite this but I wouldn't call it an example worth following.
Having said that, some forums I'm on do have marketplace boards if it's relevant to the purpose of the forum. And ban scammers on sight. Another thing that's absolutely impossible here because reasons, while being common sense and not at all controversial elsewhere.
