i bet the threadstarter wants to be advertised to get a few $$ flying his way i would say a BIG NO anybody begging for ads is crazy if you ask me
lol I said it because i noticed that other sites i'm on have ads all over the place. Not in an annoying way, but in a way that they're there but not in your face. And not even in that forum do i advertise. I've thought about paying for it, but i haven't. It was more for everyone that i thought of the idea. I guess it would have been a step closer towards people being able to advertise their commercial products. Anyways, seeing as the suggestion isn't to popular, IT WAS JUST AN IDEA!
your idea is not bad gio, the point about adding banners btw is usually about financing the website... and i'm really sure that vb.org will never need to be financed to pay the hosting or anyother related thing...
the only thing banners would be used for is advertising commercial tools for vB. .. and i'm sure we will have all the other solutions made before adding banners for that, because we(i'm sure the team is we), think that all are equal, and giving the ability to advertise in a different way for the ones that have more cash will not make things better... equality usually mean neutrality.
I would pay 300/400 dollars to have my banner at the top of vB.org...
But I am sure many won't. That's their problem.
my evaluation of the market makes me think that a top banner for such site would be more like 2500$US+ quarterly... for a section of the site... not the global headers.

I would have to save for 3 or 4 months to be able to get 2500 dollars surplus, and only probably get 500 more members out of it. Hardly seems worth it really.

that's because you see it as the client, not the display...
vB.org would be a privilege to be displayed on for advertisers, it is not a question of hits on your banner, but the value of vBulletin.org that would make the cost higher...
i have two parenting websites that bring advertisers that pay more than 5000$ quarterly to be displayed as sponsors for the forum... the reasons: i have more than a million hits per month... even if these sponsors have not a single click on their banners, they are willing to be displayed anyway because the image still in head.
