an idea that popped into my head....

[stewie574]

ok, hear me out. I think that eGO should have an iPhone/iPod Touch app that would allow users to view the latest eGO news and what not if they happen to be away from the computer.

the only issue with that is who would make the app, or who would have the time, who would update it, etc.

so yeah, that's about it. it would be pretty sweet

I like the idea of that, and like most people are going to say, this should be posted in the dropbox

Im hoping eGO makes a mobile version of the site, because I like to view it on my ipod and a mobile version would speed it up a lot! So if you ask me, if they cannot make an app, at least make a mobile version.

Hmmmm, Drop box it?

It would definently be a good Drop-Box post. I'd love to be able to go on the website from my phone and all that other good stuff.

This thread has been answered already, but for the hell of it.

Dropbox this.

For anyone else reading this and thinking the same thing, I'll just put the answer here too. It seems to come up every few weeks in the Drop Box:

We have a lot of major projects going on here, particularly related to the website, servers, and MAUL. Developing something like this, for the benefit of only a (comparative) few members of the community, just isn't a priority when we have everything else to take care of and maintain. Yes, we know that plenty of people start posts with "excuse my spelling I'm on my iPod/iPhone/iPad/whatever". But we're a PC gaming clan, not an Apple clan, and let's be honest: putting all that time and effort into something for 50 people just isn't worth it when our leadership members are volunteering their time to build special programs to keep this place up and running.

Trust me: things are MUCH more complex than many would believe. Think of it this way: when you look at a car, you see the hood, and know that underneath is an engine that makes it move. But when you actually lift up the hood, you see what's underneath and how complicated it appears. If you're an engineer, you KNOW how complicated it is and how much work went into designing, building, and testing it. I think this is a pretty fair analogy...and I know that I haven't even seen the real work behind our systems; I'm not a programmer. But I still appreciate the work that the Systems Development team has put in to make eGO what it is, and you should too - they're the reason that this clan runs as smoothly as it does.

We might look into this at some point in the future, but it's by no means "on the table", "in development", or "coming out soon".

Thank you for the suggestion though.
