Quote from: Brandon

If you remember Jacob Palm closed his GUI site some time ago and the GUI community suffered. A few of us remaining have been at the QBasic GUI Blog, http://theguiblog.com/ , and recently decided our admin wasn't doing a good enough job, we held an election and I'm the new admin!! We have a cool new forum and soon will have reviews and more!! Please register!

BTW: We also accept FreeBASIC GUIs

xx The Qbasic Community says farewell to 'Qbasic Mac'.
June 19, 2008, 02:58:36 AM by Dav
The Qbasic scene lost perhaps its longest & strongest advocate last weekend. Hilliard Moffett McLamore, better known to programmers around the world as 'Qbasic Mac', died of cancer on June 14th, 2008 at his home in Vienna, Virginia USA.

For many years Mac devoted his time to helping countless people around the world learn how to program in Qbasic. He faithfully maintained the long running The Qbasic Forum and generously paid the fee to make it ad-free for all its visitors. There he constantly shared his wealth of programming knowledge to any and all who asked. He will be remembered for his talent, wit, and the great encouragement he gave to so many Qbasic users.

There is a Memorial/Tribute page set up providing more information about Mac, and to give those he helped a place to leave a message of appreciation.
