Looks like the Pb forums are not working....site is still up, but appears to be some sort of a database error. I don't know if Poffs has been updated since Bob's passing, but I would sure like to have a backup of all of the knowledge contained in those forums, just incase the site ever goes completely down..

Could this finally be the end of PB?
Wishfull thinking? ::) ;D
PB forums are up for me .... :)
lol Eddy :)
They are back up now for me also.
Dang ..! I guess this means we will have to continue reading more of CB's posts ... :o
Then again .. who still reads them ..? ;)
"Database Error" now here too ...
Server needs rebooting probably ... ;)
It is still down by me, with the same database error than yesterday.
...
Now not just the PB forums but the entire PB website is down ...

It's the end of the company and his forums. Back to the C++ compilers
Does anyone have Gary Beene's email address? I had asked if Poffs had been updated and his reply was that Poffs and his own message viewer was fairly up to date. I am not exactly sure where to download what he has available, but would like to have whatever he has for future reference. There is a wealth of good information in those forums.
Thanks,
Gary
I have sent an email to him telling that if he has information he can post it in my forum, if he finds it convenient.
Thanks Jose!
I did find www.garybeene.com (http://www.garybeene.com) and also sent him an email through his contact link. I will post any information that he provides.

A few existing PB forums:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=nl#!forum/comp.lang.basic.powerbasic
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=nl#!forum/alt.lang.powerbasic
Not very much activity there, but they might serve as a 'backup' forum to ask questions.
Last time I checked (a few years ago) there was a lot of ranting and raving going on because a number of forum visitors where people that are/were banned from the official PB forums ... So a lot of frustration was ventilated ...
The PB forum is working again.
I contacted Gary Beene regarding Poffs and his gbThreads and here is his reply....
We keep both Poffs and gbThreads updated regularly (software and databases). Both are available in the same download here:
http://www.garybeene.com/sw/gbthreads.htm (http://www.garybeene.com/sw/gbthreads.htm)
If you have any trouble with the download, just let me know!
Glad to see forums are back up!
Gary

Hey Gary (S),
I didn't know that Gary (B) also kept Poffs (fairly) up to date. Thanks for mentioning it!
For some reason, I find myself using Poffs more then gbThread.
Kind regards
