Hi Stephen,

To turn off the banner:

Create config/heroku.yml
toolbar_public: false
toolbar_collaborators: false

I'm pretty sure you don't need to put a link to heroku. Rember it  
mentioned, but I put some not on the about page. (People tend to do  
that with non-free sites too for some reason)

I think the reason you were auto moved is because the old heroku  
became herokugarden, and heroku is now their v2 product. I don't think  
it will auto move you to herokugarden.
I don't know when it will cost money.
