should only be displayed when we are having a fundraising drive. Since we
received the money for the new database server before such a drive even
started, and since we are going to delay distribution of our next press
release until we hit 500,000, I see no need to keep this message at this
time.
A couple weeks before we distribute the next press release (sometime early
next year) the message can be re-enabled in order to give the page cache time
to update. Keeping the message up all the time will result in people tuning
it out and not paying attention to it when we having a fundraising drive.
But having it gone and then brought back will get people's attention.

I think it should stay, but perhaps at the bottom of the page ordiinarily,
but moved to the top during fundraising drives.
