So, I've made us our own little Discord channel which is dedicated to the Phoenix Edition -- and the Phoenix Edition only -- in an attempt to put a filter between us and all the drama those other guys are generating.  All I want is a nice quiet and peaceful place where I can work and do my own stuff, and I think the vast majority of folks feel the same way, and hopefully that's what we're going to try and become at our own home on Discord.

Everyone is invited to join us there:  https://discord.gg/D2M7hepTSx

All we ask is that you stick the off-topic stuff in the dedicated off-topic channels, and leave all the fighting over which version of QB64 is going to end up being called the official version of QB64.  We're not interested in any of that drama.  All we want to do is be us, continue on as we've been continuing on, and we're more than happy to let all those other guys be those other guys.  We peacefully exist with FreeBASIC, PureBasic, and all the other BASICs out there on the whole wide web.  Why can't we peacefully tolerate the other branches of QB64, rather than fight over who gets to hold the title as being the "official" version of things.

I'll clear it up for everyone who likes to argue once and for all -- we're NOT "QB64 Official".  Never claimed to be.  We're just the Phoenix Edition, and that's what we're going to remain.  Hopefully the folks who end up visiting our private Discord will remember that.  At least, I hope they will.

When I click on the above link to access Phoenix Edition Discord, I get a message that says "Invite Invalid".

Thank you. It worked.

The difference is only visible if you EDIT POST and VIEW SOURCE:

Code: (Select All)

[url=https://discord.gg/aYFWnpNztK]https://discord.gg/D2M7hepTSx[/url]

Now, can anyone explain how the BLEEP I managed to copy/paste one URL and then label it a different one??  What we're displaying is the exact same link that you guys used to join into Discord, but what we're actually linking to is completely different.  Now, how the heck is it even possible to just paste something like that?? 

Boy, am I talented!!
