Even if I remove the ads I would still need the right-hand column for the other links. And it's not like the ads are paid. They are just for Xenite.Org Web sites (the giftshop could stay or go).

In the new forums, the threading will be contained in a separate index for each thread. It won't look as "crowded". But I may not use a right-hand column for the necessary links, either.
