I still try to get people into programming so I am glad that it is still possible to download QB64. May I also say that I thought that FB lost its way very early on it quickly diverged from anything resembling basic (as I know it).
Anyway good that everything is slowly being restored. I had a look at the taptalk forum and found many of my programs from decades ago that Mac had "tidied up" (removed the GOTOs).

Hi David,
I remember you from The QBasic Forum. Mac handed if off to me in early 2008. He passed later that year, in May. I keep it going, mostly as an archive of days past. There is certainly a lot of QB code on that forum, much of what can run, as is, with QB64. Right now, I'm in the process of converting TheBOB's graphics contributions from our old site. They mostly needed the CALL ABSOLUTE mouse routines converted to QB64 mouse functions. I'm in the process of posting the converted ones here.
Anyway, I couldn't agree more about FB. So glad Rob (Galleon) felt the same and pursued this project. Also grateful to Steve for pulling this place together so fast. The forum QB64.rip, as we knew it, is probably not coming back, but luke did come by and supplied us with a mirror backup: https://staging.qb64phoenix.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=39
Again, great to see you here!
Pete
