It would be pretty cool if this website had an app.

I agree 100%. The topic has been broached before, but it quickly devolved in to some flames and some trolling and I think there was a fish involved somehow.
Anyway, speaking of the here and now with bygones being gone by god, what would you guys like out of a XBA app?

I keep a shortcut on my Iphone and also keep a XBA tab open in Safari. Not sure what the mobile app would add to my XBA experience. What features do you have in mind?
I have purchased a few games, but only one game site app. I bought the Giant Bomb app when I was being app-stupid one day and it's garbage.

How about a flame war feature where you are alerted when dupe threads are made and the pain is brought!
You could also have a popcorn timer!! It's no fun watching drama without popcorn!

I mean this site is pretty simple. Its all about the forums and events I guess. The site works just fine on regular mobile web. So I guess for an application... you can just make.... idk... lol
If there was an app it would probably just end up being a short cut on your phone and nothing more

This has been suggested several times:
Reasons for App:
-Make forum fit on screen (have to scroll to the left/right to see everything)
-Easy access (who uses bookmarks anymore anyways....)
Reasons against App:
-Lot of work for a small improvment
-App sites typically dumb down a site giving only the basics, removing numerous parts of the original site
-Very few people actually want it
-Any good app requires plenty of space, and I know I don't want to take up space for something like this
Know its not my place, but..../thread?
As this is a recurring topic that generally goes nowhere

The difference IS right now I have a roommate who is a fuckin' l337 h@cker that can make apps for the iPhones and the Androids.
Don't be so pessimistic.... no, don't be a Debby Downer, Be a Positive Pete!
We can totally do this too, with a little help from our resident SOCIAL NETWORK FACEBOOK GUY Jackson.

Mobile version of the site would be better and free to anyone that wants to use it.

A mobile site is more beneficial than a app.

Maybe we'll do both and have the app hit OUR pockets instead of Jackson's
Just kidding.
