If you hate all these awesome banners, buy the slots next month and put your own banners instead!
On a more serious note, yeah, they're pretty terrible. Even more terrible than I was planning to use if I ever got a cheap exclusive banner. But hey, supply and demand. I mean, seriously, who didn't see this coming? If you really thought no-one would put up troll banners when there aren't any rules preventing it, you are truly delusional.
Oh yeah, anyway, if there's demand (donations plx) I can code a program that replaces the banner files with something more medieval with one click before you launch cRPG!
