Gah.
Yes, I understand that more obnoxious banners means more money faster and presumably a shorter overall campaign. I also understand that we're only punishing certain large wikis with these banners and that these banners typically set a cookie so that they'll only appear once for most users.
Still, there's an element of basic human decency that must be incorporated into our banner designs. Obscuring the page content is not cool. Pop-ups (even ones that stay in the same window) are not cool.
