Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I just found out Ednaldo "Lula Molusco" Oliveira's nickname means Squidward.My day is made.

“My nickname comes from the time I started to train in Brazilian
jiu-jitsu,” Oliveira recently told MMAjunkie.com. “I was 14 years old and skinny. I was already very
tall but only weighed 165 pounds. People said I looked like Squidward
from the ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ cartoon.”

i think it would be so awesome if we created an iphone app for tapology.  It would be so convienent to just check out all the new mma news and make predictions from your phone.  Anyone wanna try to start something like that?

It's a good suggestion and one that has been brought up before. I'm not sure if this is something @Greg is working on or if something on the list of things to do, but not started yet to be honest with you.

It's really not possible for anyone else to make it (legally or technologically).  We would of course need to make our own app.

We'd love to have one and do plan to do so in the future.  But, the fact is that the Tapology site is much more complicated than the average MMA site.  An iPhone app like MMA Junkie doesn't need to do very much except show the latest headlines from their site.  Whereas Tapology has tons of custom features that would need to be custom-programmed if we wanted the app to work anything like the website does.  And until we feel like we're ready to make a really nice, top-quality app that has the key features all built-in, we're going to just hold off.

Glad to hear that people want it!

yah it would need to be both.  which is another big complexity to deciding when and how to invest in building mobile apps.  native apps (that are written specifically for iOS or Android) typically work better, but you need to build two totally separate apps.  alternatively there are ways to build mobile apps generically so that they work on multiple types of devices without needing to really have different versions.  but doing that can limit certain types of things that you can do with the app, in order to make sure it's compatible with all the different phones.  it's really a big task to figure out for a small site like tapology.  we're no facebook!

Tapology - it's not as big as facebook but it doesn't spam you with farmville requests.

So far the best thing I can see about turning 30 today is I can now enter the master's division in the next BJJ tournament!
