Sure we most probably want them (not that we have any influence on their
existance). But why must they then have *.kde.org aliases?
On IRC I proposed a quite strict (and hence easy) rule:
no A.kde.org with A != www may have any ad-like thing. If it's a
sponsored server its sponsor gets an entry under
www.kde.org/support/thanks.php
That's perceived as too strict by some people. Alternatives would be to
allow a short (defined) text to link/refer to the sponsor on the servers
main page (!), like
"This server/service is sponsored/payed for by $SPONSOR."
Still others might want to allow a static picture referring to the
sponsor, although this quickly leads to quite ambiguous cases.
Others want case-by-case, but that's cumbersome to enforce.
I think most would at least agree that animated banners are a no-go for
any *.kde.org .
Ciao,
Michael.
