Hi, Pete here.

You may have noticed that if you go to Pete's QBASIC Site
(http://petesqbsite.hypermart.net), you get a 403 error. That is because
Hypermart had blocked access to the files on my account.

Hypermart disabled my account today. Why, you ask? Well, I was linking to a site
that distributed QuickBASIC 4.5 in my compilers page. In Hypermart's terms of
service, they don't let you host or link to sites that host illegal software.
(Warez)

My account will be deleted in 38 hours, 31 minutes (from now, 9:28 PM EST). That
is...unless I can talk Hypermart in to re-enabling my account before that time
runs out. I have emailed them, and I am waiting for a reply to see what they
have to say about this. If they do not re-enable my account, I will lose most of
the updates since I last made a back-up copy, which was about a month and a half
ago. That's a lot of updates, because this site is updated daily. I can not
access the files in any way to make back-up copies of them now, so if my account
stays disabled, all of that work will be lost, plus my server and address.

But all is not lost! If the worst does happen, Marcade has offered me account at
quickbasic.com, or at one of his other servers. This would mean more adds, but
also that I would have to update completely by FTP. (Not hard, but time
consuming. Oh well.) At any rate, I'll try to get the site back up -- somewhere
-- as soon as possible.

I'm just filling you in on this, and want to warn you about the dangers of
hosting/linking to versions of QBASIC other than 1.1 on your sites, and also so
that you know what is going on with my site.

If you would like to go the Qboard (which can not be deleted by Hypermart), go
to this address:

Oh yeah, if Hypermart decides not to re-enable my account, you can direct your
flame and hate mail to: webmaster@hypermart.net

Just kidding. :)
