Hey James, I surf soft often on my handphone, but it takes up a lot of bandwidth loading a lot of useless info like who's online and such. Have you considered running a mobile edition of soft? Maybe run a poll to see how many surf soft outdoors?
you are right, the Who's Online is taking up lots of bandwidth. my web host company is getting me to pay extra. over shot by 40 Gb this month. haiz....
40GB?! Omg!! Maybe you should create a seperate link for who's online, for whoever who wants to see who's around? Also ah, since you don't want people to quote, why not remove the button completely?
