Designing for mobile/tablets - worth it?

I'm assuming you are a CSS coder. If so you really need to do a Google search on this. There are loads of sites who will list what can be used on which tablet/browser. If you want to only use those commands that are "global" you have a really small sub-set to play with.

Yeah, my hosting bill is high enough as it is without giving away terabytes of free videos!

Someone else (I forget who) pointed out a while back that "adult" is a lot different from mainstream. Whereas it is perfectly possible to get information etc on a 'phone screen, a screen only two inches wide will not really give you a big enough view of a video to jerk off. Not that there won't be some (probably loads) of adult traffic from this source, but do not expect it to be as good as mainstream.

True, although you can do the CSS so it has the same effect on pretty much all browsers, e.g.

box-shadow: ....
-moz-box-shadow: ....
-webkit-box-shadow: ...

It's a pain in the ass, but you can actually get things to look the same across different browsers. The visitor does need a recent browser, though...

Depends on encoding I guess

But a screen 2 inches wide would be the lowest of the low-class smartphones. That isn't a target audience I'd spend a lot of time on, I'd be more interested in getting things to work for phablets/tablets - they're bigger, and do offer enough of a screen to get your fap/shlick on

Madcat - follow your intuition. Ignore ecchi. You'll better server your visitors and Google may look upon you more favorably.

But many of them don't have one. And every surfer who cannot read your site is a $ you are throwing away!

No, but you at least want your site readable to them. Again, throwing away surfers is throwing away $$$$s. As I said to someone else a while back - if you got to much money, then rather than throw it away by sloppy site design, send what you don't want to me!

Grow up. I gave you the opportunity on another board to explain why you have a problem with me, but you did not have the balls to reply. That thread is still open if you ever grow a pair and decide to reply to it rather than continue this childish trolling.
