I was a bit surprised seeing this topic. Well, it might be true that i gone a little far with some of my topics (Like the 9th May 1945: Victory or Defeat), but i was not offended since i am here since three years (Because of certain things i had to change my name, but that had nothing to do with QBN or anyone on here). Although i not really programmed Basic since long so i did not really visited QB/FB forums too frequently, but i do not really feel that something went terribly wrong.

Possibly only with QB. It was simply abandonned because of FreeBasic, and become just a mess of mostly begging for school homeworks, or projects changed to FB. If the moderators would put that last in FB, and close the first, i think there would be approx. one post per week there. Neglected stuff. Nobody seems to be interested in DOS anymore - or possibly in QB's slowness.

I think what would give a lift here is to focus on FreeBasic (Although i not really like it: for me Basic and DOS 16 bit are something inseparable), and the same time triing to keep up QB things by changing the subject to Retro Basic programming - with any 16 bit Basic compiler (There are advantages of it too. The system there will not change anymore: grab DOSBox, and be happy Smile ). A better compiler for it would not hurt either, without that it will possibly die no matter how much effort was spent on it to keep alive, but this is a bit off from here (I tried to talk about it at FB, but it sunk).

In overall i do not really think that these are going on because of the moderators. I am recently driving myself mad with triing to code in C++: as the technology developed, simply programming "gone mad", and more and more people started to fear of it - some feeling that there is no way to catch on with it. A strong, active retro side would be good to make these fears passing since those 16 color games in 320*200 are not so "frightening", and anyone can believe who is interested in it that once (s)he can write such. Then if (s)he did, then it will be not hard to believe that more can be done, then more, and more, and then "Need for Speed Underground"! Big Grin

I just talked about it since i think mostly with FreeBasic a huge seperation came, and beginners now afraid of joining here / ones already here afraid of writing in prof. topics, and the like. So some hierarchy rose here as here are programmers from absolute beginners to experts who write FreeBasic, and that makes the fears and the such what makes QBN sinking. While only QB existed it was not so visible, but now with FB it blasted off. So somehow these fears and such should be made passed to keep this place alive.
fter 60 million years a civilization will search for a meteorite destroying most of the living creatures around this age...

There must be a better future for the Cheetahs!
