I understand that this suggestion may be a long shot, but with all of the app development software available these days, I think it might be a possibility. As much as I appreciate there being a beautifully functioning mobile site available now, I think creating a mobile app to keep us updated would be a good idea. Some of the functions of the app would include: -Fully integrated forum functionality (Maybe with some GUI improvements) -Notifications when there is news about the server, updates, changes, etc. -An Athion chat program similar to MineChat -Integrating the current Athion website's Conversation feature, but with more of a texting feeling and not an email -If other people think of ideas, don't be afraid to post in this thread!

Creating an app like this would take a while as it would need to be custom coded and designed around many frameworks. It wouldn't be cheap, could cost a minimum $10,000 if outsourced to a professional. There may be a simple version eventually available BUT it would mainly feed in new posts and news, videos and images for a mobile view without much interactive functionality.
What I would love is a small app that just sends you notifications for when a new thread is posted. Don't think this would cost all that much to make. Opening the notification would take you to the forums within the app?
