Ye olde timers will know me. This place is looking like it's falling apart. What the heck happened to QB? Is it dead / dying or is it just this forum? I think I left this forum atleast 8 years ago and briefly checked a while back. Was feeling nostalgic and I find some familiar names on the forum. I see wildcard's posts. Who is running this forum now? Last I knew SumoJo was supposed to be the admin. Wildcard left. Zire was running amuck...! It's been a LOOOOOONG time.

Hey TheBigBasicQ. Good to see you around again. Well, wildcard took the site back over. I'm helping out, but as you observed there's not much to help out on these days. The Qbasic scene has pretty much faded away. Many QB programs fail to work in new Windows enviornments. Old QB users moved on the more modern languages, Qbasic isn't been taught much in schools any longer either. Etc, etc... Many QB'ers went the Freebasic route, and some are also using the newer QB64 compiler which is the most Qbasic compatible thing I've used. There's even a Linux & Mac version of it. Check it out at: http://www.qb64.net. I still have a Qbasic site up here (thanks to wildcard for still hosting it), visit it if you'd like: http://www.qbasicnews.com/davThanks for stopping by and saying hey.  - Dav

I feel really nostalgic. We should have kept on this. MSDOS emulation is good and runs on most modern platforms. I've coded in QB and QBasic from time to time all these years. I miss the good days. The laughs, the people, and even the fights

I can't help myself, I still occasionally return to the archives to read all my cringe-inducing posts. Recently started converting some of my fifteen year old QB and FB programs to more modern languages, the nostalgia is almost gut wrenching.

I stumble back on this forum now and then when I think about how it's where I started working with syn9. Now 15 years later (wtf) we're a far ways into Rijn2 and somehow this forum still exists. So weird. I totally didn't think I'd be able to log back in but here we are.
Since it might be another 5 years before I revisit this, if anyone wants to get a hold of me, I'm rob#3323 on discord
