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
In response to Iocamus
You could talk to them from the Website.

Cooke if you find out how.

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
This should answer your question.

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

At best, a pager app would be better for the iPhone, rather than an iPod.
In response to Tiberath
Yes but the app system is intertwined between iPod touches and iphone's, you can make it compatable with both
In response to Iocamus
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.
In response to Nadrew
Aha :P there's still loads of people with iphone's and ipod touches think of the boost of people BYOND will get

No boost.

The people who are already with BYOND may use such a feature. 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.
In response to Calus CoRPS
Similarities are irrelevent, this is what it is.
In response to Iocamus
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
