Additions to the API

I have built an android client of tMDB. Thank you for this movie data service.
I do have some additional feature requests in the API so we can build a better tMDB client experience:
- account sign up.
- ability to upgrade guest account to regular one.
- more privilage to guest account.
- tMDB users&contributions data
- forums data
- ability to "append to response" on paged data
And a changelog would be great too so we can see changes. Thx

Hi @nyilmaz,
Thanks for the feedback.
This one would be hard to pull off correctly since we have a bunch of anti-spam mechanisms built in to our signup flow. It's not impossible but would need some thought to do right.
Yes, this has been planned for a while. This one will be happening.
What are some examples of what you're looking for?
Something for me to think about.
Maybe. The problem with anything on an API is that it's so easy to abuse. The anti-spam and abuse tools would have to be very well designed.
No plans for this one I'm afraid.
For anything of consequence, I'll usually post it on the blog. That's the best place to keep an eye on.
