Does it matter much if it is up or down?

At this point, anybody hoping for PowerB being saved or a new version coming out, needs a psychiatric evaluation.  Denial is the first step when dealing with Grief/Loss and it is the step that some people can never seem to get past.  If you are still holding out hope for PowerB you need to be in therapy to help you get past the Denial stage.  It is not a healthy mindset to live under.

In case anyone is interested, PB is down again.  Something is foobarred and needs fix'in.

I think most of us are beyond that point. We are not 'staying tuned' anymore ...

I hate to burst your bubble, but PowerBASIC is NOT back, and there is still not support or continued development of the products.  The only thing posted was a rewording of the exact same message that has been posted since Bob died.  Now, another new team is going to save the day and they say to stay tuned for news in the future.  What is sad, is there are so many gullible people who believe this nonsense and are willingly allowing themselves to continually be strung along.

PowerBASIC being back (which it is not) isn't the issue, the issue is will the customers come back.  That simply won't happen.  PowerBASIC can, and will, NEVER be what it was and it can never recover from the damage that has been done.

Looks like Tom Hanlin just made a post on PB stating that the servers are moving this weekend and "We're going to make it shine again, very shortly".   Looks like Tom is part of the group (or is the group) that will run PB in the future.  Let's get funky with Basic.

Personally, I think someone should have made an "official" announcement stating what was happening. The same ole song and dance, and in my opinion they are still beating a dead horse.

I hope Power-Basic doesn't go the way of I-Basic.

Yepp, sounds like it. And from all what Eric had posted over the last months, I'd guess he's in there, too.
