<a href="http://www.bchosting.com/">BChosting</a> provide the machine, the bandwidth, and remote support should something go wrong which I cannot fix from here. I do about 45GB a month. The box in question also hosts freebsddiary.org, freshsource.org (and several of my other domains which have very little bandwidth compared to those already mentioned). The service provided by BCbosting corresponds to a very substantial and non-trivial value. Even if all other ads were removed, I'll still be displaying ads for them.
On top of this, I also display ads for other worthy causes (e.g. daemonnews.org)
I think it would take about US$1000-$1200 to get rid of all the non-paying ads, but it wouldn't get rid of ads altogether.

I thought it was a Flash-based ad, but it's an animated GIF.

Good. So it's not Javascript.
See the other thread recently started where I've found it's not just us having the problem.
