Careful asking.. You may be labeled one of those "bitog senior citizens brigade against change" from someone who has no clue on what things it takes to keep this site running much less have time and money for new things.
Amazing..
Im aware it costs a good chunk of change to keep the site going. I also know that it would cost alot to make an app across multiple platforms.
Im sure if you put the word out that more cash is needed in order to make a mobile app, i bet donations would come in faster than ever.
I just like to be updated on post that i contribute to or just really find interesting. Also it would be great to not have to refresh my browser if i minimize it on my desktop or mobile device. And it could really be a asset to members who PM each other constantly for specific help.
The reason for my brigade remark is that i sense a major opposition to change from regular members , not MODS . These members are against the idea of site redesign, mobile friendly site, and a stand alone app regardless of the financial cost or the sites ability to afford it.
With all due respect, your taking my comment way to personal. No one will leave the site die to a lack of a mobile app , even if the site is unchanged 10 years from now.
