A New Beginning

This is cool, I'll gladly buy a premium QB64 that comes with licensing and a year of consulting for my professional use.  All the rest of you can piddle about in the programs section.

_vince... but so, you provoke!  :)

Watching this with interest. As always I'll be following the "prime directive" of non-interference.

@Galleon .... "with interest" a very interesting choice of business lexicon.

If memory serves correctly, Piccard, disregarded the Prime Directive on at least 9 separate occasions... lol

Honestly guys, it's not a big deal.  It's just business as usual for the current project.  One day we have an off-topic, community forum.  The next we don't.  One day we can edit posts.  The next we can't.  And then we can again...

The site, in general, has been filled with repeated sudden and undiscussed changes over the last few years.  This is just another instance of the same ole, same ole.  People will be upset for a couple days, wondering why nothing was mentioned or discussed in what's supposed to be an open source project, but then when things settle after a bit, life will go on as always.

Apparently:

The forums aren't changing.
The repo isn't changing.
The rules and basic lack of planning for development and future additions/enhancements aren't changing.

Basically, it just sounds like some guy has decided to take over the patreon funding, and now he's called "CEO" instead of Fellippe.  Felippe won't be using his personal finances to bankroll the costs of hosting; this other guy will -- and that seems like it's all that's going to change.

(For now, until the next sudden announcement... )

Steve -- you are spot on as always....you speak the truth and make me laugh at the same time.  Thank you brother...
