kanebennett··on Hacker News: Our Tiny Charity Desperately Needs Your Help
Thanks for the details Tyler! The size is of course flexible, by suggesting 250x100 I was just trying to give a general idea of the small, non-intrusive style we're requesting. I've updated the post to make this clearer.

Thanks for your interest!

-While we will gladly accept traffic from almost anywhere at the moment, we are restricted to English-speaking audiences.

-That isn't an issue at all: we don't require a continuos 'spot' per se, a segment of your monthly traffic would be perfect.

-While the size itself is flexible to an extent, we do try to ensure our ads are subtle and non-intrusive, and the 250x100 rectangle is a perfect medium for that. Furthermore, the Leaderboard and Tower formats really aren't suited to the static (no distracting animations) design we utilize.

I do love the coffee cup advertising paradigm as an idea though - maybe it's something we'll look into!
