We've been searching for a forum that's more mobile-friendly (and meets a few other criteria).
In the next few weeks (possibly months), this forum will be closed and happyjacks.org/forum will be redirected to our new forum.
If possible, we'll keep this forum open as read only.

Personally I like this forum on mobile, I use it on chrome android and I haven't had any problems.
If you feel a move is necessary I have no problems with that but there's a lot of posts here on old and current games that will be missed unless you can transfer them. Both moat and genex has many "in game" posts from the characters.

There might be a forum Transfer option, but it depends on how the new forums work, I think. also if it's too much hassle, don't stress Stu

I will admit it makes me sad but if it means more people will post on the forums it’s a good thing.

I was surprised anyone at all would get the crazy idea to visit a webforum on their phone, but maybe I'm weird...

It's not an old thing.... Believe me, I'm up there myself as well. There are a number of apps that reformat the format to be easily read on a phone.
Tapatalk is a popular one, for instance.

I don't usually visit the forum on a phone, but I have used Tapatalk and it seemed fine. Is it really necessary to scrap these forums, when a solution to the phone problem already exists? Are there other issues that must also be resolved? Or, is it just time to destroy the evidence?

I’m using Tapatalk now on my phone, and it works fine.

These forums are down to a pretty small number of users. Lots of people aren't interested in downloading another app for just one forum and more and more people are only using their devices for their online time. Bumping to a mobile friendly model will, we hope, breath more life back into the community here.
It also gives us an opportunity to upgrade the other things the forum offers, like threaded conversations so that discussions are easier to follow without scrolling through pages of replies on different parts of a topic.

Discord killed this forum.

I have to admit that I am more active on the Discord than on here. However, that being said I do visit the forums more on my phone than on my computer. Maybe I'm an outlier in that regard.

No, not an outlier, I don't visit from my phone because I hate my phone. I'm sure most people would use their phone for an online forum.

I use my phone, my tablet, and my computer; depending on the circumstances that I find myself in.

Discord killed this forum. The Discord is more of a 'hanging out' place, a forum is better for long-form discussion. That being said, perhaps the forum used to be the place to banter and chew the fat, and that has now moved to the platforms that fit our pre-existing socializing habits. I read the forum on mobile devices, but prefer to post when at a computer. Haven't used Tapatalk thus far.
