 A Mobile Version of Goth.net
I was thinking of this last night and was wondering if the admins have ever thought about it as well. A mobile version of the site would be a great, relatively simple way to interact with the forums on-the-go, if it tickles one's fancy. I'd be interested to hear what everybody else thinks about this.

I think that'd be great. I'd use it for sure!

 Re: A Mobile Version of Goth.net
I access it from my Android all the time simply by using the browser. Would a mobile version be different?

Well, a mobile version wouldn't be that much different, if it's anything like other mobile versions of sites I've used in the past. It would probably have an easier-access interface for those with mobile devices. For instance, I was trying to access the site on my Nook Simple Touch the other night, but my browser isn't all that great. I think that a mobile version would allow someone with the same problem, "portable" access without the frustration of a site not loading properly. Ah, I hope my response came out alright, ha ha.

 Re: A Mobile Version of Goth.net
It could also make it easier because some apps that allow for internet doesn't have a zoom button, and you can't really read things easily. That least, that is my problem.

Ah, Midi I have the same problem! It can be frustrating, especially when you tap something (if using finger) and you accidentally hit something else due to lack of zoom.

 Re: A Mobile Version of Goth.net
Its fine on an iPad but as said, ya need to zoom like crazy on a smartphone. Doable though.

 Re: A Mobile Version of Goth.net
There are actually apps for browsing boards like Gnet out there already, a quick scan on my iphones app store revealed dozens eg. "TouchBB Forum Browser" which was €0.79, and I'm sure there are free ones too (as well as more expensive ones).

 Re: A Mobile Version of Goth.net
It would be cool as hell though to have the G.net symbol as an icon on my phone. I'd brag...
And I will look into those apps!
