Sourceforge is not a good example: they are not a organization of open 
source people, but a a site owned by a company (OSDN, Inc.) which 
in turn is owned by another company (VA Software Corporation). 

I think it is better to compare to sites that are closer in spirit 
and mission to us. None of these have banner ads:

www.apache.org
www.perl.org
www.sendmail.org (despite the commercial ties)
www.gnupg.org
www.opensource.org
www.gimp.org
www.gnome.org

If the banner ads (as previously stated) do not bring in much revenue, 
is there a reason to keep them?
