The fix(es) for this "problem" are:

1.  Disable dupe checking in BBS Ads sub-boards.
2.  Alter your Ad post slightly each time.  I use a script to insert the
current date at the bottom of my Ad before it's posted.  That way it's 
seen as a different (non-dupe) message.

 ph> What is the "10000 message CRCs" setting?

It means it will search 10000 messages to see if the current one matches 
any of them and is therefore a dupe.  Doesn't make any sense to have 
that set like that if you only keep 1000 messages.  Make them match.  I  suggest
5000 for both.
