"Someone has to pay the bill for the free site, so they have banners, etc." Doesn't the pay site finance the free site? Isn't one of the functions of the free site to entice people to sign up? I'm not knocking the pay site.. but is it worth turning off potential 'members', for the peanuts you get from banners and popups? I'm sure other people will assume that the pay site resembles the free site.
