Aurel,

I figured that deletion may be the path taken but hoped that it wouldn't.

I have mainly used Basic for most of my adult life and STILL haven't mastered it... lol
It's not that Basic is difficult to learn, it's that Basic is difficult for 'me' to learn....
To coin a phrase, "I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer" and will probably never will be.
This is why I rely on sites like this and people like you with which I can continue to learn.
I find it discouraging when sites close down. I understand why they do and do not place
any blame on them for doing so. None the less, it is still discouraging.

I will continue to work with Basic; Look for resources; Continue to learn.
I may not have that many years ahead of me, but until that time comes,
I can still have fun with Basic.

To quote the Master Control Program, from the movie Tron: "End of line".

well chris
i am not sure but it looks that there is no any feedback from sourceforge site to SB
also i don't see anything on github which by the way is not good as forum board for
potential users...

Hi Cybermonkey,

Thanks for giving SmallBASIC a forum home for the past few years. It was good while it lasted!

It's a lot of work keeping a forum site alive, so it's understandable you'd want to call time given the low activity.

I'm not sure where I'll point the forum link to from https://smallbasic.github.io. Maybe this https://www.reddit.com/r/smallbasic/

Cheers,
Chris

As one who is still learning.... May I ask, "What is to become of all the posts, samples, tutorials and resources that have been gathered over the past years? Will they be archived for future 'read only' reference or will they be just deleted?"

Well, I'm not an active BASIC-er any more but my almost daily lurking routine still includes

Charles Pegge's OxygenBasic forum
Eros Olmi's thinBasic forum
John Spikowski's AllBasic forum
Jose Roca's (tolerant) PowerBASIC forum
(Intolerant) PowerBASIC Peer Support Community forum

Farewell to all my former brothers in arms here! :)

Okay, if there is any interest, I use regularly the following forums:

Well, I guess that wraps it up ...

Before we close, can members list the web forums they participate in? I'd like to keep tabs on folks I've gained respect for over the years.

Paul, I sure miss those fancy code snippets you use to do! But I know how work takes most your time.

I am still at JB forum (thanks to Richey's advocacy) though that is dying too: http://justbasiccom.proboards.com

And of course QB64 forum: https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?wwwRedirect

I check in at FreeBasic forum now and again and see JJ occasional posts of interest, for some reason in my mind FreeBasic and QB64 don't mix well. I started working FreeBasic before QB64 but after year or 2 of QB64 half my code that was working in FB, isn't ? Something about different compiler options I suspect.

I have just saved Aurels link maybe someone from here might show up there? Maybe Galileo with another one for Yabasic?

Aurel, I have a QB64 version of that 100 LOC interpreter that had the Eval code built-in (that made the 100 line thing possible), with its own Eval code now 400-500 lines and still stuck on how to introduce strings and string routines without punctuation. Currently working on GUI boxes possibly with an Editor box.

I also check SmallBASIC but Chris not so active anymore, that I can tell, maybe he is with Android groups?
http://smallbasic.github.io

I also lurk around n00b's site, RC Basic: http://rcbasic.freeforums.net
Where my old friend Johnno hangs out and is doing some 101 lectures. :)
Same for SdlBasic http://sdlbasic.epizy.com/index.php

Very occasionally Naalaa, where Tomaaz and Aurel may still do battle. :D
http://www.naalaa.com/community/index.php

I even peek in at AllBasic to see if JRS is still alive. ;-))
