PowerBASIC Inc Turn Off The Lights

[Stephane Fonteyne]

Hi all,

I think that the company PowerBasic Inc bankrupt is and turn off the lights for all his activities. De website is down and not available. It's finisch, over and out. I hope not because the compilers are the best and fast products from all the basic dialects.

Kind regards
Stephane

Yep ... site is currently down .. Is this it .. or will it come back up ..?

Is this it .. or will it come back up ..?

The sad thing is nobody really cares either way.  They have destroyed their customer base.

If this is it, it is the best way for them to go out and it is truly no great loss at this point.

I was just on the PB site before i came here...

[Eddy Van Esch]

Yes. It seems to be back up again.

[Brice Manuel]

Which is why I had "if" in italics.  Their server issues have become legendary.  This may be one of their shortest outages.

[Michael Stefanik]

And it appears to be down once again.

And it appears to be down once again.

If I didn't know any better, I would say they were being hosted at Dreamhost.

I wonder if the forum has been hacked?

[Michael Stefanik]

Last I checked, they were using antique versions of the forum software. I have no idea how its being maintained, or even if it really is.

If Tom was still around, I would say perhaps this might be the case.  Most likely it is buggy server and buggy forum software being maintained by somebody who simply reboots the server and never fixes the actual issues.

It's back up

I am going the PureBasic way ... 

[James Klutho]

Down again.  That didn't last long.
