Maybe somebody should set up a 'pr campaign' for fb... i.e. post in the relevant newsgroups etc.
add here, too:

I'm a lazy bum, so I won't do it...

They use to be picky there, unless the results counter on Google or such are high, they use the vote for deletion of new/not-well-known compilers listed. Better wait for fb become more known.. and stable..

I set up a FB help forum on TBN, not that many people go to TBN anyways.
I'd knock on wood, but my desk is particle board.

I've hinted at a new 32 bit basic compiler at rpgdx and dosgames.com. Mandrake is interested in it (he wants to port gaia to it) and some people at dosgames.com are interested. I'd post it at tek-tips, but it seems that qb moderator there hates me. He deletes my posts, submitions and locks my account.
If i wasn't who i was, i'd describe him using a ton of 4 letter words. He doesn't even have the guts to reply to my emails.
Sorta like a dictatorship over there.
On second thought, someone should start a freebasic forum at tek-tips.com. I'm sure that the people at the qb forum there would switch.

Nek: cool, more links, more Google's page rank will help taking the fb page to the top.. i should create a fake blog or something, Google loves blogs for some reason.. heh
I dunno about tek-tips, tek probably doesn't like me either, heh - how about gamedev's board? Nah, too early, loads of C snobs, lets FB get more stable.

And I don't think they'd be too interested in a compiler that was only recently released to the public. :wink:
Like v3cz0r said, wait till it gets more stable (especially the heavily used libraries like SDL). Also would be good to wait for some tutorials to appear.
