What was the history/reasoning behind this banner?

I can assume it was just a crappy old advert saying "Hey I live in [your area] too, wanna hang?" but why exactly was this one worthy/interesting enough to become a banner? Is this girl just a random girl or something similar to the "you can't learn Japanese" girl?

I would suggest that it's a random girl from a real screenshot.

This is the oldest repost of it I've found. It's not likely the original, but it's less cropped than other versions I've found. The presence of the taskbar at the bottom leads me to believe that it's a real ad screenshotted from a webpage. It probably was chosen as a banner because it's funny.
Through pimeyes I've found a number of other photos of her from the same day hosted on stock image sites. She is a Thai woman at a graduation ceremony. The photos were taken by a photographer named Gina Smith. The photographs were uploaded on September 20, 2009.

I can find no reason to believe that she attained any fame or notoriety outside of this meme.

Huh. I always thought it was Miranda Cosgrove for some reason.

Fair enough, guess it was just one of those things that became funny when put together.

in the 00s internet ads made noises and had annoying animations. some porn/dating ads would include your city based on your ip to make you click

First of all, all the banners were made by anons. Moot hosted some threads and other semi-contest like content to get people to make them. Pretty much anyone who took the time to make them, got theirs posted. The community wasn't very big after all.

Joke explaination part 1:

>advertisement utilizing your ip address to assume your location would try to trick you into clicking it by pretending to advertise desperate sex starved women IN YOUR [area], click here now

the joke is anon is using an [anonymous proxy] to view the website, therefore the advertisement doesnt work propperly.

Joke explaination part 2:

the joke joke is that since anon is using a proxy, hes probably also posting/looking for cp or doing something else bad since there was absolutely no legitimate reason to be on 4chan with an anonymous proxy other than to cause mischief.

it was a time when 4chan had a more 'rebel' public image and hacker culture was more central than it is now, so it assumed people would be using proxies and shit, and the joke is like hey, this is what it looks like when a 4chan user gets dating adverts.

it does seem kind of esoteric now that 4chan is basically text-based fortnite baja blast
