zzoom	The notepad feature is awesome

Jayenkai	One day I'll have to get around to adding a delete button to the Notepad.. :\ I still have notes listing "possible future QOTD"s!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	Ohh, I'd missed that bit ..until now!

Steve Elliott	Certainly a chilled site. The Blitz BASIC site has gone nuts lately, all the in-fighting. -=-=- Intel Core i5-4590 @ 3.2GHZ 8Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2Gb, Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Jayenkai	There's also the long-forgotten Todo list feature which may/may not still work! Just add a BBCode todo into your post, and it'll probably implode!! [todo] Blimey, it still works!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	Steve Elliot The Blitz BASIC site has gone nuts lately, all the in-fighting Thinking of which, how's GfK?, I hope he's OK after what happened on that thread about Unity.

Jayenkai	Oooh, gossip!?

steve_ancell	Someone did proper flame the poor bugger though Jay, not seen him on there since, just a little concerned that's all.

steve_ancell	I did try some calm-down style comments. I came back to the thread later but SkidRacer had deleted it, so I guess it must have gotten worse later on.

Steve Elliott	In that thread he changed his sig to, Gone to a better place - so maybe the Unity forums...I hope that's what he meant! -=-=- Intel Core i5-4590 @ 3.2GHZ 8Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2Gb, Windows 8.1 64-bit.

zzoom	Maybe he only went to a better place for a bit...
Fri, 03 Apr 2015, 09:21
Steve Elliott	Maybe.

Jayenkai	What a palaver!
Fri, 03 Apr 2015, 15:25
zzoom	Thats unfortunate to say the least GfK, hope it all pans out ok in the end. -=-=- Happy coding!

Steve Elliott	Sheesh. Talk about getting out of hand.
Fri, 03 Apr 2015, 19:41
steve_ancell	Glad you're OK Dave, I also know first hand what it's like to have mental problems and I know what it's like to have people use them against me too. I could see clearly that person on there was fanning the flames, I tried to make him/her see reason but he/she just kept trying to justify his/her actions.

steve_ancell	It seems that most times when I visit BB.com there always seems to be someone having a flame grilled BBQ, and it wouldn't surprise me if they are the ones that joined after Blitz3D became a freebie.

Steve Elliott	Well yes, near everything on there is now free so the buy to attend the forum rule is not in force. That coupled with minimum moderator intervention and the author abandoning the site in favour of the Monkey site, has meant things have gone down hill. It has turned into a place to plug other languages/systems (because BRL stuff is pretty much abandonware now). This leads to arguments over competing systems, coupled with minimum moderation it's a recipe for disaster. A shame to lose somebody like Gfk and others through these flame wars though, because generally it's a good place for discussion, coding help and fun at times. -=-=- Intel Core i5-4590 @ 3.2GHZ 8Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2Gb, Windows 8.1 64-bit.

steve_ancell	GfK It certainly isn't for the atmosphere, because that's long gone I noticed that quite a few years back, quite a few on there seem to have absolutely no sense of humour and therefore cannot take a joke most of the time.

Steve Elliott	Oh of course it's not what it was some years ago...I wish more would come here - it's certainly not tied to Blitz languages. -=-=- Intel Core i5-4590 @ 3.2GHZ 8Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2Gb, Windows 8.1 64-bit.

zzoom	There is still some impressive posts in the coding archives, altohugh sense of humour fails do seem to get into some threads. -=-=- Happy coding!
