You can't "remake" the forum as a mobile app. I have no idea what forum software they are using, but to retain the forum. The first step will be to expose it as an API if it doesn't have one already. If it doesn't, that will be a sizeable undertaking. After you have this local API, expose it as a RESTAPI that can be consumed. Then build a mobile client. The amount of effort involved and the return on investment is not truly worth it. Why not just start and solve a new project?

That bullshit* , thet why I say I know my stand, I know nl will never release an api, but there is still a way to go about it, I just wanted to know if its permitted.
