Responsive designs are fine...until they hide all the options from the mobile site.

I would recommend MF creating an APP that costs a certain amount, that also comes with a Geekzone subscription.

Ideally this app would be free (without included subscription) but I see there is dev costs...

If you really want, start a kickstarter type thing, with people giving over $25 getting a subscription, $50 getting a T-shirt etc

A responsive, adaptive design site is not the same as a mobile site - the latter is simply a copy of a site that has been retrofitted to a device, the former is often a complete re-work of both the site (in terms of the devices capabilities) and/or the content delivered (in terms of the adaptive content).
