One person, one page of brands.
The Board is run by Dustin W. Stout from Bakersfield, California. This is who that is, what the board is, and where to write.

What The Board is
A public leaderboard of brands. Every spot on it is a brand: a logo, a line and a link, ranked by what that brand has paid and by nothing else. Every listing is a paid placement, and the page says so. Nothing on it is editorial, nothing is selected on merit, and no amount, once paid, ever goes down. The top spot costs more every time it changes hands, until somebody holds it long enough to win the season.
The reason it exists is the reason the price is public. Attention is bought and sold all day on terms nobody outside the trade can see; here the whole market is one page, every number on it is published, and the site’s own traffic is counted by somebody else and linked in the footer.
The facts, the boilerplate and the artwork are on the press page. The rules a listing agrees to are the terms.
