Both have different skins on them that lighten things up no end.

You need to do some customisation to remove all the bloatware that's not required.

Who cares?  Just uses more data...

Wouldn't take much work to lighten the interface to make it more PDA friendly.

Yell out if you want some help.

OK, I'm currently on oldschool.co.nz, looking at 54kB of website, of which 13k

I'm sure that if you wrote your own theme, you could get it down further - 
30kB/page? Are you aiming at the mobile market or something?? Sounds 
interesting (:

It's for a group of folks using PDA's, and accessing the forums as a
communication and 'knowledge base' type tool, in theory.

I'm looking into this for a friend who made a rash promise to a large
customer, and has come up dry with a quick solution.  Then I came up dry
with a quick solution! :-).

Cheers, Me.
