The next section over, wasn't as industrial, so found little. These posters usually spawn on boarded up places, and it seems there isn't as many as I thought in the central part of Mtl.
Section B
This time I tried looking at the not so nice areas of Mtl. I found a lot more. Of course, those areas were also scary, so I tried to do this as fast as possible...
Section A
It's time to start systematically graphing the posters in my area. Let's call this section A.
Surprisingly there weren't too many...

Posters
Haing seen tons of posters all around me, I decided to alter them a little bit. It felt like I was doing some kind of weird graffiti...Can someone get in trouble for doing this?
Searching
Being surrounded by the same ads in my school, I went on a quest to find other notice boards where people reach out and try to communicate with others. Here's what I found:
Rebus Puzzle
As exciting as it was to see indications of human interaction with my posts, I wanted to push it some more. So here they are, #1 and #2.
Feel free to post answers here :-D
Thanks!

Intervention
Personally I read the boards when I'm board, in between time while waiting for someone to arrive or if the post is really visually appealing. In general, I don't have time to stop by and check out every announcement out there. It's hard to judge how much time passer bys spend at looking at these posts. I know, that when I'm challenged, I'm determined to persevere. So, although I have no idea how much time people spend at looking at ads, I decided to try and lengthen it by altering the ads already posted. The challenge to the public was this: I transformed ready-made ads into images, so no text and no numbers... I guess, pictionary style.
Yet again, I don't know if people tried to figure them out, made any links on the board, gave-up or simply looked over it without a thought. Only two of them gave me any measure of success. My print-outs were decreasing in numbers, so I had to periodically re-fill my blue folder, and my "phone nymber" was being ripped off.
