So you would want some interface element in addition to the 'x'? I'm still not
sure I understand your idea fully.

We actually have the ability currently to make any/all of the close boxes
permanently hide all the banners on all the projects. (It's a bit messy, but
I've figured out a way to do it.) Thus there is no need to send people to a
special page. It could all happen through Javascript. I'm not sure we'll ever
actually implement such a system, though, or increase the default cookie
expiration from the current 14 days. We would actually like for people to see
at least a couple fundraising banners during the fundraiser even if they
dismiss them. The idea behind the thank you page "hack" is that people are very
unlikely to donate more than once during a fundraiser, so for those people we
have no reason to keep showing them banners. The hack isn't intended for
non-donors, but I thought I'd post it on the Village Pump anyway in case some
people wanted to exploit it.

Of course we know that some people find the banners annoying, which is why
we're only going to be running the fundraiser for logged in users for a short
period this year. What I would actually like to see is a system where we only
show someone a banner every nth time they visit the site. I'm not sure if this
would be politically possible though since we would have to do some "user
tracking" to accomplish it.
