No. Any user can create a 'parser' which extracts the needed data from forum. It takes around 15-30 mins and needs only basic understanding of html. Real users have actually been able to create some parsers.

A Siilihai account is required for use. This allows for example syncing between computers and other stuff. Accountless
usage would be possible but not implemented yet.

Probably yes. Most phpBB, vBulletin and SMF-like forums can be supported.

TapaTalk would be a nice addition, as it is seems to be the most common API for forums. Adding it would relieve from creating a parser for each forum.
