Any plans for a mobile site?

I would love that. I do often browse here when I'm bored at school, and I have made a number of posts from my phone updating information on my LAN threads. A mobile site would be a big help.

honestly the site is so clean and clutter free i dont see much point in a mobile friendly site when it's already pretty mobile friendly as a desktop site

I think the main concern with a mobile responsive website is: How to provide value without taking away content?
If you look around on any page of this website there's always the column on the left, middle, and the right. Within those 3 columns theres 5 boxes loaded with content.
Now what's really tricky(in terms of making everyone happy) is the 4 side boxes. If I can recall correctly engima once posted a picture of the heatmaps of this website and most of the red was in the "Recent Discussions" box. Which I'm assuming stems from frequent and more "veteran" players. But then there was also still users coming to the site for the other boxes: News, Events, Streams.
So this alone brings more questions like: How would TF.TV have to order the side boxes?
- Would they need to place Recent Discussion above everything?
- But what if theres an influx of new players(due to impending MM update) just looking for content to watch or read?
- Should the "Live Streams" not be prioritized due to mobile? Can you really call TF.TV, TF.TV then?
List goes on and on...
At the end I'm pretty sure whoever has the ability to do so just wants to make sure everyone is happy. Because the last thing enigma would want is people leaving the site sad and unable to find the content that they want. The current website is fine for that. Also poorly implementing a mobile site by just throwing it up there and not continuing to work on it is just something really shitty to do. I don't visit UGC forums on my phone for that exact reason.
tl;dr: Consider retention. How would TF.TV be able to design the website so the non-forum frequenters leave happy?

Haha what
You're blowing this way out of proportion.
Mobile versions of forums are so basic - there's no need to reinvent the wheel here.

I use tftv on my phone whenever I'm on the train and I've had no problems with it, a mobile site may be nice but it's not necessary imo.

I browse tftv on my phone a lot to catch up with stuff while in longer car rides/ waiting in lines/ etc and I've never once thought "I really need a mobile version of this site". The text sizes are fine, and even if you wanted them larger most phones have options for that.

Sorry if I didn't explain myself clearly. For a mobile version of the site you need to re-adjust the layout of the website when it loads on mobile. This means an entirely new design approach preferably in a 1(or 2) column by most modern web standards. I was voicing the concerns when doing such a thing because theres alot of content besides the forums. I hope that frees up the confusion lol

This and not having to zoom in on the "Recent Discussion" sidebar are the two main reasons why I'd want a mobile version of the site. Normally if I visit tftv on my phone I ignore the front page and stream sidebar, zoom in on the recent threads and go from there. People have said the site works fine as it is on mobile, which I agree with, but there's still room to make it more cellphone friendly imo.
