Is there any thing in the works to offer a TER Messenger App for my iPhone?  I'd love to be available all day.   Any ideas?

"Honey, what's this new app on your smartphone?  TER?  What's that"?

"Oh, nothing, nothing..heh heh..just some gag that Crazy Bob at the office put on my phone for laughs.  Here, let me have that…[deletes app]…whew…."

Yeah, I know, separate phones, one for personal, and a sekrit hobby phone just for hobbying..I know..

But honestly, how does it look when you start carrying an iPhone for personal, a Blackberry for the office, AND another (let's just say) Droid phone for hobbying?  I mean, I've heard all about hobbyists who use nothing but burners and stuff, but it seems very cumbersome; how do you keep transferring all the contact info, and keep your current favorites advised of your neverending string of new phone numbers?

And what if you're a total sentimental softie like me, and you honestly like to save and archive your months-long string of naughty texts with your favorite providers?

I know I'm playing fast and loose with things a bit, but I just password-protect my phone, and use little nicknames for each provider which will only mean something to me ("Ajax Exterminator" and similar).

One of the benefits of being the "tech support guy" in my house:  Rule #1 about anything tech-ish in the Krinn house is NOBODY touches Rokk's shit!  I mean he uses that funny Linux stuff and everything!  Who would even want to be bothered?  Just call him when you've managed to download the latest piece of zero-day drive-by malware--otherwise just leave him alone….

Works for me!  

Well for the single hobbyists then.  I know plenty and some of my clients' wives know they come see me.  An app for ones that want it - silly!

Apple will never approve a TER application in the App Store. DOJ will be on their ass on day #2. Someone may try in the Android market place but will be pulled down on day # 3 or 4.

have you heard of web apps or hybrid apps??  my guess is you haven't.  

how many out of those are you gonna need to be online in order for you to feel it is beyond "very little takers"?  

We're arguing about the hypothetical utility of a hypothetical app which nobody appears to be interested in developing; why are we wasting any neurons at all arguing about whether it's a good idea or not?

If anyone really cared about such things, one could write the code for an app like this and see if there's a market for it; or lacking coding skills, offer a bounty to a developer who has the time and skills to do the work.

This is like arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

The chat app would be something I would use on my iPhone to be available for gentlemen who wanted to connect with me via TER Messenger.  The client could be on his computer, it wouldn't matter.  I am not always in front of a computer and having it on my iPhone would be a real benefit to me.

20k users online right now and this is just TER alone.  

Next you are going to tell me there is email.

online with TER 24/7 is anything I'd even want to do. I can already email and google chat with the few ladies I prefer to do that with...

just like how you thought TER doesn't have https. You're a classic definition of a clueless moron.  

You and your spotty award copy cat comment regurgitation from for GaGGer ass.  

I always thought I was your favorite??? lmao

Thanks for putting yourself back in the lead though. I won't take it personally if you think that DA is the "biggest worthless scum" on this board over me. Just keep posting moronic drivel and I will be fine.

Anyone with half a brain can see that you started this shit first. I'm cool with just about everyone else,  so the problem is YOU buddy.  Just look at this thread and many other threads and you'll see that I'm right. The problem is that you're too stupid to realize it was you who brought this onto yourself,  by responding rudely and starting shit with me all unsolicited.
