Why advertising and frames?

Why advertising?

Running your own server costs money. Simple as that. I've paid from my own pocket for the server since October of 1995. When going over costs involved since then, a rather depressing figure results, especially for my wife... So, in order to continue and improve this site, income is a neccesity. It won't amount to any Yahoo! sums, but at least I should be able to cover the costs I've incurred so far and keep the running total in the black. I'd also be able to devote more time to this site, and thus make the updates more frequent and more extensive.
To do this I also need your help. If you've ever wanted to help me out, this is how to do it: Click on the ads! Quite simple, yes? Even though you might have seen the ads before or on other sites, please take a moment once in a while to follow the links to my beloved advertisers. They are much more happy when they see people visiting coming from my site! :-) By doing so you're helping me out in a big way and for that I thank you!


Why frames?

I get all my ads through Imagine Games Network. In order for them to track how many impressions I get, I have to have a frame linked to their site. I know, I would rather avoid frames alltogether, but I really have no choice. I apologize for those who can't stand frames, especially those of you still stuck in 640x480. I'm working with IGN for a different solution, but it could take some time before it is resolved.
Notice: The initial problem with certain browsers (AOL etc.) has been fixed.
