By the way, I think #1 is the best option -- the QBasic Portal. To illustrate it better, here are examples of what I mean: The NEWS FEED consolidates RSS feeds from all the sites in the Qmunity (we could use Yahoo Pipes to do this very easily, or do it server-side). Each post references which site i...

Well, if QBasic.com is ever going to get a good ranking on search engines again, you HAVE to get rid of those spam links. It would still be #1 otherwise. On a side note, I don't think that we should create a NEW forum at QBasic.com -- it should continue to link to the Network54 forum. The N54 forum ...

Well, for me, the reason why this is important is because it's QBasic.com. If this was http://www.marksqbasicsite.com or http://www.qbasicmark.com or some other personal/undesirable domain name, it wouldn't matter. He could let it sit there idly and die for all I care. But we're talking about QBasic...

Yeah, it's really a shame that Mark has the QBasic.com domain name. There are dozens of people who could have done better things with QBasic.com, and it just so happened that Mark lucked into registering it on the day it expired. It's not like Mark had any track record in the QB scene -- he was a 16...

How QB Are You? quiz
I found this on DarkDread's old website...
http://darkdreams.rpgdx.net/qb_quiz.html
Heheh. A lot of the questions are pretty outdated, and go back to QB sites that haven't been around for almost ten years. I still scored 33/40 though!

Ugggh, it sure bothers me that such a great domain name is going to waste like that. Mark could have really done a great thing with QBasic.com, but he flaked out. The only worthwhile parts of it are Lachie's http://games.qbasic.com and the N54 forum...not because the layout is that great, but becaus...

Yeah, I'd like to figure out a way to use the PHPBB accounts here and link it to the old Perl CGI back-end that I'm using. That way, you wouldn't be able to submit stuff unless you're logged into PHPBB. The only problem is I need to figure out how to do that, and then find the time to do the work. :)

Thanks for the info! The backend system here works fine -- I could just turn it back on -- but I disabled user submissions because it got completely inundated by spam. It got to the point where there would be 500 spam posts for every 1 legit one, and the spambots would crash the site at least twice ...

Okay, the deadline has come and gone, and I only received a PATHETIC number of submissions so far. I've decided to extend the deadline for one more week, until: NOVEMBER 20TH The next issue will be out shortly thereafter -- that is, if I receive enough submissions. So far, I've received only the fol...

QBasic communication through COM1 port? (reader question)
Question from QB Express reader Eric: Hi Pete, I am going to try to use Qbasic to talk to a piece of equipment through the COM1 port via RS232. I did this may years ago but I have forgot how to do this. I will need to both read and write information. Can you tell me the correct command, format and ...
