Hey buddy

I greatly appreciate the interest and feedback, thank you! If the theme IS hard coded "so to speak" it would still be easy for me to make an integrated mobile version.
Many options, I would replace the original forums login page with a mobile detect library, from that new login page you are directed to either the original login or mobile login with your flag marked as mobile=1 for example.
The easiest way would be to mirror the current site to a sub domain like m.bitcointalk.org and then just edit the user interface from there. They could share the same database once it's completed also.
I am confident in saying that if/when theymos asks the most trusted members of the community (those who know me of course heheh) they will vouch for me.

I'm not questioning your reliability. Just saying that theymos does not share the forum's source code with anyone, due to the security modifications that were made. Not even PowerGlove has access to this, he works "blindly" on his edits.
In turn, what you propose is a "clone" website with a responsive template. The problem would be ensuring the same functionality if you don't have access to the current source code.
