AllBASIC Forum

[John]

Forum Members,

Is there any topic the members of this forum would be interested in? With AIR going MIA and very little activity by anyone other than myself, I'm considering closing down the forum. The forum and archive forums I host are well indexed in the search engines and is the only thing at this point that justifies keeping the forums active.

Does anyone have a suggestion how we may see more activity on the forum?

People are going through a lot in these times. Hopefully one day, there will be a great return to computing.

There's not much for me to share other than my language experiments. It's just nice to just have a place to keep the option for discussion open.

My forum has been equally as dead. I just post progress updates. From what I have seen other forums are toxic gossip cesspools and are also dying. The only options are to let forums die or be the ones to weather the storm.

The forums I host contain a lot of code and examples for multiple BASIC languages. I still feel BASIC has a purpose. ScriptBasic saves me a lot of time with the projects I do for clients.

If you are still using a version of BASIC with your projects, please leave a post letting us know what you're using and what for.

I'm using the ScriptBasic proxy web server for a QuickBooks Online app for a major payments processing company.

It doesn't look like anyone is interested in this forum any longer. I will be shutting down the AllBASIC.info site and all the sub-domain forums (archives) by the end of the year.

Even though member activity hasn't been great, this site and its sub-domains are heavily indexed in the search engines. This is the loss I regret the most.

I may move AllBASIC to a low cost hosting instance as a static archive. The problem is I'm using a deprecated version of PHP and I don't have the time to lock down a newer version of the forum. This will keep the links in the search engines happy.
