dubs : Banner submission is automated through a system which is part of the powerful script which keeps HostingDiscussion running. There have been some quite positive results from people who bought advertising here and so I would think its definitely a good move.

You can find out about the pricing and impression packages at http://www.hostingdiscussion.com/advertising/ . The banner submission system is also avaliable at that link.

Good luck and hope to see a banner or text link of yours up there soon!
