YaBasic ...alive ?
Yes he can create every month new update but where are users,groups

You don't know it. Yabasic is back in Ubuntu, so everyone searching for BASIC can find it. Assuming that every user must be active on forums/groups etc. is simply wrong. You know if language is/isn't in development. You don't know how many people use it. Why people here tend to mix everything together - languages with editors, languages with communities, users with advocates etc.?

Open source software never dies. Anyone can enhance, fork or continue promoting the project. All it takes is your time and commitment.

There is one major problem here:

anyone can != somebody will

If anyone can start developing ScriptBasic again then why nobody has?  Sorry, but promoting, enhancing, being "project manager" is not the same.

Sure, we can fool ourselves and wait decades for new generations of developers to come (they may even come from another galaxy) and restart all abandoned projects, but what is the chance it will ever happen? 1/999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999?

Why would anyone want to start over with Script BASIC? It has been an ongoing open source project since 2000. I haven't given up on it and use it in many of the projects I do. There is also a commercial use for the BASIC.

I have had pretty good luck with SB over the years with talented developers contributing to the project beside myself.

Then I admit being wrong about ScriptBasic. But John, how many abandonned projects have someone like you?

Hey have you all seen this?

Snatches from BP.org can be found, here is one:

Sometimes you can follow a thread:

There's a graphic I want from the old forum, because my copy got accidentally deleted. I think it may have been posted by Aurel or PeterK - a pumpkin head. The program it accompanied was called "being" but I cannot find it anywhere

Open source projects are like a religious faith. As long is there are believers, heaven exists. I'm sort of like an angel looking after things.

Was it aurel or aurelB? You may not remember but Aurel used to have two accounts on that forum. aurelB was a hard-core Windows/BASIC fanboy and devoted Linux/Python hater, while aurel was more Linux friendly and even considered coding in Python. Or was it the other way around? 

Pumpkin head... I think I remember it, but there is no way I may have it somwhere.

If you don't believe me, just look at the screenshot. 

BTW I love the screenshot posted by B+. First topic is "Your language sucks, because..." started by... Tomaaz (of course!  ).

[Tomaaz]

Trash-hole forum for specific sort of super-geeks who want to post crap is http://basicpro.spacefor.site/smf/. You don't even need to register to post your crap.

[Aurel]

[Tomaaz]

Wow...wow...wow
Easy dude...why you are so nasty?

Considering the fact that I used your own words, calling me "nasty" is not the brightest idea...

Sooo post your crap there ...he..hee...hiii 

I'm not interested in posting crap, especially on a trash-hole forum for specific sort of super-geeks who want to post crap.

And please don't act like some sort of moral vertical here ..ok?

Again - I just copied your own words.
