We need a mobile site, something that has a simple, easy to use interface, yet retains classic newgrounds style.

Or, an iphone application, which would not just promote the site, but make browsing the forums on the go a hell of a lot easier.

Newgrounds isn't simple enough?

Not bad, but then every idiot would then go to Newgrounds. We here at NG pride ourselves in having some control of which idiot gets in.

Nothing to say on this...

Newgrounds is simple, but right now i am typing this in safari, on my iphone.
And it is a PAIN IN THE ASS to have to pinch and scroll through the entire web page.
And yes, i may make this app, if people like the idea!

I do like the idea of an app or just something to make it better on mobile. The only real downside is that people probably won't want to type out as much, so the post would be a lot smaller and less related.

But then again, no one really writes anything worth while anymore anyway.

Please do, I have been waiting for someone to do this for forever and nobody has. Will it be compatible with PSP too?

Fucking kids these days are inside even when they're outside. Playing on your fucking Iphones and updating your fucking facebooks all day long, never living a real day of your life.

I apoligize for trying to potentially gain Newgrounds some publicity.
Also, I like the way you assume that I live that lifestyle.

now go to bed, it's late.

I may have to load up ubuntu on this computer, because macs don't allow windows users to make applications.
But, once i do that, i would assume that i could port it to a psp, I've never tried to though.

because i don't own one...

The downside to something like this is that due to texting generally taking a lot longer than typing, people would rush their posts in order to ensure that whatever they're saying doesn't get said more than six times before them, leading to everyone having JKMonkey-style posts.

Just joking about that last bit. <3 you JK

Speak for yourself, shitbag. There are over 1.5 MILLION registered users. You are a fa.... tell you what, let's discuss this bullshit you think is important.

How exactly do you screen potential Newgrounds members?

Noobs need to shut the fuck up about Mobile NG applications. You guys weren't around for NG PSP, shit fucking sucked. Most new mobile phones have a full browser, just go on Newgrounds from the fucking browser. iPhone has Safari, so why would you need another application to access the same thing?

I find just going to the webpage on iPod works fine, but it would be nice if there was a more iPod friendly version.

Yes but it would take up less data to load a mobile, more efficiently made version on a mobile device.

anyway, which idiots have got iphones without unlimited internet anyway?

Alright, we'll take data plan out of the equation and focus on the fact that it will load much, much faster than the entire Newgrounds site if you're on say, a bus.
