Something that could boost byonds community would be a free byond pager iPod app, that would truly be amazing also for instance you could just talk to your pager friends and recieve updates for people who's computer broke like mine :P would that ever be possible?

This is nonsensical for various reasons, the most obvious being the fact that iPods do not have any sort of ethernet, wifi, or internet connection, so you'd have to be connected to a computer to do this.

Or the fact only iPod(touches) are the only iPod that can carry apps if you didn't catch that part
|
It would be nice, though I don't know if it's really necessary. Also, the pager isn't really meant to function as an instant messaging program.

Yes but it would be nice if I could talk to my byond friends, you see my comp is broke

You could talk to them from the Website.

Ya but an iPod app would just be amazing + byond could charge money for the app(but also a free lite version) it would benefit people and the website

I think the OP's asking for a pager app, while Lummox is talking about more of a mobile Dream Seeker in that post.

Yes but the app system is intertwined between iPod touches and iphone's, you can make it compatable with both

So what do you guys think? I think it sounds like a good idea
|
In response to Iocamus

If you wanna buy me an iPod Touch I'll be more than happy to create a pager app for it.

Aha :P there's still loads of people with iphone's and ipod touches think of the boost of people BYOND will get

But it undoubtedly will not recruit a new crowd. If you searched the forums, you would have saw that similar features had been requested, all had been denied for now. |

Similarities are irrelevent, this is what it is.

This is the same suggestion we've rejected before.
While the pager is more prone for being ported than the other applications BYOND has, it's still not a trivial task. I doubt anyone on the development staff could afford an iPod Touch/iPhone anyways. |
In response to Nadrew

|
Then is there an messaging system you can add to the byond website,
|
In response to Iocamus
|
|
BYOND members already have access to a website-based pager system.

In response to Nadrew

We do? o.o
