thanks for the nice feedback.
lynx (with the -source switch) delivers the html which it would normally display on its own screen, (mostly this means taking care of the links in group view, the messages are actually just text snippets).
Then the green design of the site as such (the font, background pic and the effects), this is something for which I found bits and pieces on the internet and adapted them to my needs (it's all in the css, so it's simple to transfer).
using lynx to fetch the actual news content reduced my code by at least half, maybe even more (and it was the less good half of the code that went :-) ).
I think that (smaller and better) codebase is something that could be maintained also over a longer period without issue, so guess I will release it as a replacement for bbs. The look and feel will always be basic compared to  more complex forum software, but so be it (at least the design is reflecting this as well now :-) ).
