# OK, I've done some super-optimised javascript
for the board.

There's an example here

It's not a working board, just an example of the code in action.

It knocks around 80% off the file size if the
posts average out at 100 chars or so.

# There are
HTML compressors out there. It's worth running files through these things before uploading them (That way there's an optimised version on the server and you have a readable copy to work with).

I've toyed with the idea of writing a javascript optimiser for a while now. Would anyone use something like that?

# Probably.
Although they have issues with dynamic content (php, cold fusion, asp etc).

What it really needs to do is take the content and dynamically find strings that
occur multiple times and replace them with variables.

Look at that, that's the first picture I saw and it's us lot. Oh dear - munterama.
Apologies for my lodger last night, Pickledpizza, he was drunker than me and kept saying, I want to type something, then couldn't think of anything to type anyway. Then started having a go at me for being on the computer and generally being abusive to everyone round here. The more we laughed at him the more we wound him up. He was puking like a bastard this morning though!
