Is there a fauna mobile site in the future plans?

Not unless I ever decide to use a mobile device for my internet needs. Which isn't very likely. Sorry, I thought I made that pretty plain in my last post. So far, I just don't have any need pressing enough to want to access the internet with a little mobile device while I am away from my den.
So you see, if I were to implement such code to make this site more mobile friendly, I would not be able to test it, nor trouble shoot any problems members would run into. My programmer also indicated that he stays away from such devices and mods for his own websites, because of significant problems with vulnerabilities to hackers. I'm guessing (because I really have no interest in looking into it) that hacking is just in it's infancy with these devices as more and more apps get developed and used.
And there is another wrinkle concerning all this. Apparently all of the original developers to vBulletin abandoned ship a while back when Jelsoft was taken over by Internet Brands and the latest versions of this software are not well liked and have "issues". The original developers have started up their own company with a similar product, but of course the original company is slinging lawsuits at the new upstart instead of just letting the marketplace decide who has the best product.
This is an interesting read for anyone interested in this topic ->

So options are limited for the future, with no crystal ball in sight. Maybe this site will hold up pretty much "as is" for the remainder of my retirement and as long as I retain an interest in this stuff. Or maybe not. Heck, I could wake up dead tomorrow and what would it matter then?
Time will tell, I guess.
