In my years in the business, I have had a hand in several resource sites/areas. 
I'd have to agree with much of what Mark said about the evolution of advertising in our business area. 
 
Public webmaster boards have certainly put a dent into the effectiveness of a true resource area.  (as opposed to a fake resource area, one where all other resources areas both fake and real are listed, the intent being to grab ad monies).
