I had to join in... god I miss this place (kind of, had its ups and down of course). Been 8 years now, so long ago now :o

Hey dudes

It's been a long time. I remember when I would come home and look forward to seeing all the new posts here. It was a joy to learn how to program with you and share all the little moments in general discussion and such.

I don't program BASIC anymore but I can't say that I cared for any other community more than this one. Lots of feels as I went down this thread.

Thanks for all the great years

Wow, nice to see so many familiar usernames. I have very fond memories of this forum

Stopped in on a whim today. So many memories here.

Wow, so, apparently I just randomly guessed the password for my account. Yay!

Do people still hang out with old qb'ers anywhere? I noticed lachie and dr_d posting in the same facebook thread today, haha! Twitter maybe, anyone? I'm @runemoennike but I don't have much interesting to say.

2 more years passed...
Hi Zap  ;D
Hi all.

Hi! 

Sometimes I regret I found the qbasic community too late. I never lived the years where it was thriving(when was that I am not sure). I logged in the net at 1998 first time, searching for how to make EXE with qbasic. And then I was amazed that people do so great things in qbasic, games, wolfenstein engine, 3d and 2d demoscene effects. At the same time I discovered about the demoscene and was halfly occupied by qbasic (and later a bit freebasic) and halfly trying to learn C. Meanwhile, most qbasic forums I found started to become dead, I didn't hear much releases, or somehow a sign that there is enough life. Maybe someone is still making a Qbasic project in the dark. The feeling inspires me. Maybe I'll open one of my retro PCs and install Qbasic and try something. Maybe..

Couple of years on, have relocated, new partner, new life. Haven't typed code for ages. A bunch of friends and I are looking at building a multiplayer rougelike but with a story.

That's all we have right now... haha!

Life is good. I should do more than waste my life watching porn and playing Minecraft.
