Poll: The Requirement for Tapatalk

#1

Post by iandvl »

I need to do a lot of maintenance on the forum soon.

Tapatalk and the associated plugin I use for this forum are a massive headache for me.

Also, the forum works well via browser - even on mobile devices. So I see no requirement for an app-based forum tool like Tapatalk, and I am considering turfing it entirely. Would there be any objections ?

I refuse to even install Crapatalk on my mobile. They constantly now try and force you to buy the premium version: sorry, not THAT interested in this forum to do that.

Whatsapp has mostly killed forums anyway.

I use it for quick access from my phone. Don't have to go to the web and type in 4x4AG. I am a lazy bugger.

But if it goes I won't fight......

Seriously though, thoughts from people who may use it ?

Ian, let's give them until 20:00 tonight.

I'll hunt down and deal with all those who don't vote..
