HTML whizz's and a digital/interactive designer wanted

i still think that a site that's no .4 in the world ( fucking impressive stuff that ) should be making a better income to pay for VB's trouble ( and no doubt a few more exotic bikes for him), and to pay for stuff like designers to do development work like this.
by this i mean that i for one certainly wouldn't mind if there were banner ads on the forum that companies paid for per 100k impressions - whether those companies be Specialized, Trek or other equally unpopular 'giants' of the cycling world.

But isn't it the strength of this page that it is purely community-driven non-commercial place? I mean, we could just make a group on Facebook and sell stuff on ebay but that wouldn't be the same. I'm not against some money for VB and I think that banner ads will be unavoidable in the long run but I think that LondonFGSS shouldn't become a brand.
