I used to hate frames myself, but I found they're best when it comes to
navigating easily across a site as big as mine.
However, I will consider cutting down on the frame number a little, but not in
the weeks to come as I have no time for any major redesigning right now.

As for the ads: I'm spending quite some time (read: "money") on design and
especially on the games I play. I definitely don't want to pay any provider big
$$ in addition to that, just so I get my site completely ad-free.
That's what you have to live with if you use a free service.

As I said in r.g.c.c., don't use the GeoCities mirror if you can avoid it.
Use http://come.to/SCCS instead. It only has one pop-up ad which you can iconify
right at the start and you'll never be bothered again.
Or directly go to http://www.mi.uni-koeln.de/~kluebke/ which is where the
come.to link currently points to (no ads!), but don't go complaining if that
location changes and you don't find it anymore. ;-)
