It could go underneath that then, if it is felt necessary to have a
permanent notice, which I'm not convinced about anyway.

Yes, but we're not having a fundraising drive right now. This is about
having some sort of permanent notice because you complained about the
other one being taken down. If we don't need a permanent one, then the
suggestion of having it at the bottom can just be ignored. This was
not to replace real notices during fundraising drives, which obviously
need to be prominent. It was about providing an alternative for the
periods that we are *not* having fundraising drives.

Would it not be more effective removing it until we are on Slashdot
again? Keeping it there now when people have already started to tune
out from it doesn't seem as worthwhile as removing it now and putting
it back up when we are on Slashdot again.

Too subtle for a fundraising drive, yes. But we're not currently
having one of those, so isn't it better than nothing?

Angela.
