I responded on Watir-Development, but I will mirror it here for consistency sake:
I am personally against advertisements on watir.com, because I think it defeats the whole purpose of creating a kick-ass open source tool, if your main site for it has advertisements for commercial/proprietary automated testing tools (wasn't watir created to avoid using vendorscripts?) Why is this thought even being raised? Are we short of money or something? What are the big costs we need money for? The current web site is hosted (by wordpress) for free... Even if we wanted to run ads on watir.com, we can't because we're using wordpress.com. We would need to migrate the blog to our own host and then pay hosting costs. It's a bit of a wasted effort in my honest opinion. I look forward to hearing others thoughts on this matter.
