Re: Update

You're right to supress banners, they are a nuisance and are ineffective.
But advertising could be used differently, PA has potential:
Find 1 sponsor for each new round, have the round named after him, include his logo somewhere in all the skins, give him the opportunity to PAmail the players 1 time/week or so...
And regarding PA own ads, don't advertise the game, advertise the round. Simplify the registration (2 emails is a turndown for anyone). People should click the ad, click registration and start playing. Put the game 3 clicks away from the ad.

I'm sure a sponsor could give you the extra cash needed to pay the coder.
Just raising the cost of a round is a shortsighted move with a big backfire potential. It can be done once PA has improved on all aspects (graphics sure but more importantly gameplay, user interface, a real tutorial...) not before.
