Banners have been turned off for logged-in users on en.wp (and maybe other projects?) for quite some time now, since well before Christmas holiday break for most people.

Awesome!
How about we add popups?
Seriously, if you're going to do this, just add AdSense...it's a heck of a lot prettier.

If it doesn't, they probably won't use the tactic in the future.
Second, if WMF doesn't meet the fundraising goal they will have to cut something from the budget. If it's so very important to you that they not try advertising techniques that are mildly annoying to some users you should start by suggesting projects that won't get funded or people that won't get hired or servers that won't get bought, etc.
Third, adverts are turned off for non-logged in users. Try logging in. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
