I'm not asking for the Foundation to stop the banners. I'm not trying to make the fundraising team's life harder. What I want is acknowledgement that there is indeed a problem and that it will be addressed for next fundraiser. I do want more than a promise of that, though. I'd like to see progress on more reasonable banners during the next year before the 100% fundraiser starts, so that we're not having the same discussion yet again.
Just used a not-logged-in browser for once. Literally the whole page was the ad. It was startlingly obnoxious. I'm sure you can get startling click-through rates with an ad that appears to completely replace the thing you actually went to the page for.
