(Whiteboard: [country-all] [sitewait] [serversniff] [wptouch])
txt2nite.com serves a desktop site to B2G. Bug 823364 added an UA override for this domain. The override should be removed once the domain serves mobile content to B2G. This bug tracks the evangelism for the site to recognize the B2G UA and the removal of the override at that time.

Is it worth having a UA override for this site?
Alexa Rank of TXT2NITE.COM is : 651,453 (low priority)

On entering http://txt2nite.com/
on Desktop Firefox, http://www.txt2nite.com/ (desktop content)
on ZTE (Firefox OS) without UA override http://www.txt2nite.com/ (desktop content)
on ZTE (Firefox OS) with UA override http://www.txt2nite.com/ (mobile content)
on Android + Firefox http://www.txt2nite.com/ (mobile content)
on Android + Opera Mini http://www.txt2nite.com/ (mobile content)
on iPod Touch + Safari http://www.txt2nite.com/ (mobile content)
Firefox OS UA string should be recognized as a mobile. No site with feature detection and responsive design.
On HTTP front and for finding a test.

For testing we have to allow a bit of time, the response time of the site is slow.

> Sorry wil update wptouch later today. Approx 12 hours time. Hopfully this will solve the issue.
I will reply. WPTouch needs to be fixed. It is the second site at least that is using it. I'm adding a dependency on Bug 909420
Depends on: wptouch

Status Quo. Nothing has changed.
They are still using wptouch:
class="wptouch-pro device-android device-class-iphone skin-granny-green theme-classic post-thumbnails locale-en_us custom_thumbs green-planet cal-colors full-shown left-justify ajax-on hide-addressbar generic loadsaved video-css landscape"
Each time I tried to communicate with "luke" to give updates on the status of the bug, I didn't receive any answers. So not sure we will be able to make any progress. The site is covered by ads, and do not seem to have much more activities.
The last tweet is from February 6, 2014.

I'm tempted to close it as WONTFIX.

I think this is reasonable. The cost/benefit of continuing to push on an unresponsive site gets worse the longer we try. At some point, it's just not worth pursuing anymore.
