Subject: [PATCH] Project advertising page/form update
- Remove the forms to contribute to Read the Docs
We don't really get any contributions this way
- Build value for the commercial product a bit more
- More prominent get in touch for alternatives
- Remove mentions of gold
Gold doesn't remove ads from projects anymore
