Subject: Will the forums ever be made into an App?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself

I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

I was wondering if the forums will ever be made accessible via an app for a mobile device or tablet?

I hope so. 90% of time I spend on bnet is through iPod.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

Technically, there already is a mobile site that someone made, though it only allows one to view the forums in a mobile format.

But I would assume that with time, it could be done. Making mobile forums is likely a lot harder than it sounds, so we'll just have to wait.

Besides, most smart phones these days are capable of loading B.net, and quickly, if you have a good browser and a reasonable connection.

I hope so. I don't see why they wouldn't.

Cortana 5 is a carbon-based lifeform that frequently visits these forums, currently residing in the United States. Practically every male on the site responds to her posts.

Soon.

Posting on the forums though any mobile device (including many tablets) is like cat herding right now.

I would like an app to download app forums. Sounds meta.

We can only hope some sort of mobile upgrade comes with the next site update.

Looking for clan that isn't too serious? Then join the ODST 501st Airborne Battalion. Go to http://www.501st.forumclan.com for more info.

I really hope so. Then I can laugh at the flood on the move.

I'm sure it'll eventually happen. Bungie knows that Mobile Forums need to be implemented into the Bungie App.

That was me for the longest time. Then I got an iPhone. I do 99.999% of all my posts through my phone. Very, very rarely will I get on a computer and log on.

As for making the forums into an app, I think what you might be thinking is making a mobile version. There's already one, but it won't let you post. For those of you who own a mobile device, this is the mobile forum listing. Like I said, it's just a listing. But it updates like its the actual forum and has the most recent discussions at the top just like the full site.

I hope so, I do at least 75% of my posting on an iPod or an iPad (although it isn't so bad on an iPad TBH).

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I'm sure that they will eventually implement this. People have been requesting this ever since the release of their mobile website, so I would think that Bungie is planning on doing it.

That would be really cool although my PPD would go up by like 30

  • 03.02.2012 6:11 AM PDT

Popularity points would be in order if they did actually make forums more friendly with a phone/tablet.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

It would make things so simple. But I doubt they will.

Bye.

I think a cool option for the forums on a mobile device would be to edit/remove forums.
Say I go to the forum tab in the mobile App, it might look like this;
Forums
Community Forum.
Flood Forum.
Universe Forum.
Other Forums.

Add / Remove Forum

Why have a list of forums that you don't visit regularly?
A quick Forum option, in my opinion, is what the mobile app should use.

I sure hope so, I am on the forms on my phone right now, and it is kind of a hassle.
