Frames are used mainly to get rid of those variables in url. As all gp32x scripts except of board were written by me, i actually not sure if there are no bugs that could lead into hacking page by some 12 years old l33t HaX0r. Of course i've checked all my scripts
and there should be no any dangerous but, well, some of you rember that gp32x was hacked some time ago. and as i found it later it was possible due bug actually in board scripts. So to make people to not mess gp32x i just hide it. This is a common method used by many sites. well it can be annoying so i wil ltry to solve it or rather to make another more comfortable for you solution.
Another thing I do not like is when you click on a link, like to see Blue Angelo's New Pictures, the link opens in the same window as gp32x.de so if by mistake you close the page after seeing the pics you then realize you dont have gp32x.de anymore. I think the link should open automatically in a NEW WINDOW, that way we get to stay at gp32x.de and still visit the link.
This one can be actually fixed. It just need a "target" marker in the link script
I will fix it.
The SECOND frame is not even used here i think, so you dont need it.
Well, actually thanks to that second frame gp32x.de is still online, has no annoing pop out windows or banner for half of the page
It is a tracking code (which actually in many cases is blocked by everything besides IE
of refferal program. As you probably noticed there is only a Lik Sang banner on site so when someone decides to buy something from them, and comes to them throug gp32x.de banner, they pay me a few bucks from referal program. gp32x.de i generating up to 1 gigabyte traffic everyday what makes about 30 giga every month (and is still growing). our database exceeded 100 mb size (board tables alone use about 90% of it), our download section uses about 400 mb. Check prices from the hosting company near you and you will see that it costs. Maybe those are not big sums for most of you but they still are. Of course I can still afford paying bills but those additional money i get, makes that my wife does not shout for me for spending our own money for things she doesnt understands
(as a typical woman she thinks that an 30 year old man should not play games and gp32 is not usefull at all in everyday life
)
I do not want to make paypay account and beg people: send me some bucks.. etc like some sities do
. Even if I would like to do it I cannot do it as a condition to creating PayPal account is living everywhere but not in Poland (seems we are not humans for PayPal
).
So this is the easiest way. No pop outs, no begging for money, no 10.000 banners
Only a hidden frame with tracking code (notice that i even dont post everyday - "buy from lik-sang", i dont delete those post where people say "...i bought mine GP32 from XXX and i reccomend it...".
I will try find another way to make it less annoying and I hope i've cleared all your doubts
