# please don't -
automated stuff like this, 'every x number of seconds', sucks our bandwidth, you'll kill the board... it's been done before with a board auto refresh.
Nice idea though.

# well, people refresh the page for one new post or
10 new posts. or son...

instead of gettnig the 50 or so on the page per refresh, they get 10. much nicer.
