I’ll donate more when we start having banner ads. I live in a capitalist society. I have no problem with ads.

The only banner ads I could stomach are ones from conservative orgs and members’ own sites. If you want to pimp a blog, pay up to JimRob. Smaller than those horrible banner ads too and maybe just on the main forum.

Just a suggestion.

You can have “Link Unit” ads which have no graphics and are very unobtrusive. You can filter them to exclude domains or types of ads.

I think it would solve the problem.

I’ll even patronize the advertisers.

If there was an automated system of banner ads (or a system similar to Google ads or Facebook ads [spit!]), I would use it.

>> “I’ll donate more when we start having banner ads.” <<

.
You haven’t thought it out too well.

We are a political opinion site, and advertisers tend to want to control the sites on which they advertise. If we become dependent on banners, we risk our freedom of expression since the ebb and flow of funding would be subject to outside forces that do not share our views.
