What/How would you improve the forum experience?

I thought Tapatalk was just an add-on to the previous forum...

I use Tapatalk on the mobile for a variety of different forums, and apparently they "support" tapatalk, not really "use" it as the platform.

For example https://www.xda-developers.com/ support Tapatalk, but it doesnt seem that they are using Tapatalk as their platform (maybe I am wrong).

So a different question, is there a way to follow this forum on mobile?

Thanks for your help anyway.

Hey EP - the big question has still not yet been answered.....

Can we open the forum to non-plus members!?

You know what, I'm not sure about that. It looks like the kind of decision Greg @TheCarlwood should be involved in, since it falls in the category of Plus member perks (at least, at the moment). My only beef about opening the gates to everyone is, the proverbial flood-gates (incl. trolls, saboteurs), but I'm definitely biased towards skepticism.
Having said that, the pros would be, more people involved, and maybe that would be a way to encourage other people to sign up to Plus?

Thanks for the reminder @rani

Edit: Although one thing I noticed in the past weeks/months is a surge/growth in the number of "Guest" users on the forum. I feel as though those are mostly listeners of the free-show who want to have a glimpse at the forum (or not), which may favour opening the forum. Just an observation.

Is there a way to do both? Have one aspect of the forum open to everyone and the rest just plus members?

I'm sure we've mentioned that getting the comments for each show mirrored from the non plus site and this forum would be a fantastic first step.

I like it being non troll, members only. A little bit more promotion, like Gregg mentioning it and interacting s bit more would be beneficial.

Gregg give us some likes at least - show us your read this place more than once in a blue moon...

Consider the forum over at skeptico and Alex's interactions and comments in his show wrap ups.
