You have a 30/70 chance your ansi will display correctly. It depends what method (software) you use and which BBS's you post it on. Making an ASCII ad like MRO suggested would be the best thing. Also keep in mind many BBS users turn off ansi displays. It's not 1981 anymore Dorothy ;-) There are some very talented Ascii artists out there if you choose to go that route.

I tested posting an ANSI converted with ans2asc that comes with Synchronet on a Synchronet board and seemed to look alright everywhere.

it depends. sometimes you have to go in and manually edit it.
it's not a great replacement for an ansi.

The thing that I've found that works best is saving the finished ANSI so it has a maximum length of 79 or fewer characters per line. I'm referring to the line length internally within the file, and not the visual row width you see when you view it in the editor. There's a difference.
Any lines longer than 79 characters get line-wrapped by some BBS message readers, which is why they end up looking garbled. Look at (but don't edit) one of the SDT files in your /sbbs/data/subs for your networked ad echoes sometime, and you'll see that the ads that originate from Mystic BBSes almost never have a line length longer than 79 for this reason. The built-in Mystic ANSI editor offers this option by default, and so does AcidDraw. I personally use AcidDraw to do one final save when I prepare something as an ad.
oh i'm surprised people still use aciddraw. usually people use pablodraw or something.
regardless, i LIKE ansi ads. i think they belong in the ad section.
Agreed. I like seeing all the stuff
people make.
