Revive QB45.com?
Revive QB45.com?
Hey guys,
We all remember the good old days of QB45.com when it was in its hay-day and run by Jorden Chamid. I was nostalgic and looking at the remnants archived on the WayBack Machine. And I thought: What if I brought it back?
I reverse engineer a lot of websites by studying their look and feel and their functionality to commands and such. I can make a CMS out of the old QB45.com and hopefully get it up and working for people to post files and talk.
What does everyone think about this? Because I am tired of QB45.com just sitting there and collecting dust. I always hear, "I have a backup. I have to look for it. When I do, I'll bring back QB45." and it makes me tired to hear false hopes. So why not do something about it?

I'd like to see it back as well. It was one of the first sites about QB-programming I visited and made great use of it.

As I recall, the site was not getting a lot of Forum hits. I uploaded some files there and the comments from users were just a bunch of SPAM. I told them about it and they did nothing.
