For "normal browsing", once you install the Tapatalk plugin, there is an endpoint URL ( ie http://talk.maemo.org/mobiquo/mobiquo.php ). That is the way 3rd party clients basically access the forum. On most clients in fact you need to introduce this URL manually. You do not need to whitelist anything because 3rd party clients just "act" like the official one.

EDIT: And as you can see on the attached images, Tapasboard can already display it.

Now, registering the forum with the Tapatalk site provides 2 extra features:
- The forum is listed on the Tapatalk Directory -- but the directory is not public and thus useless to 3rd party clients. It is obviously desirable for users of the official client You can control how TMO's entry will look: name, icon, visibility...
- "Push notifications" -- again, not public, so useless except for iOS and Android users.
