forumrunner isn't free though. I don't wanna have to pay to use this forum on a phone. IPB has it free and built in and XenForo has a sweet mod that's free as well for mobile devices.
We are not making a switch to a different forum software. If you don't want to pay, that is your choice. Plus where does it say that we are gonna charge for the app? We are getting a custom one built using forum runner as the base. They never said they were gonna charge for it.
