So you can donate a little for PB development ?

Well, not made 'with' PB, but having PB didn't hurt!walbus wrote: Wow, we have here a Millionaire, maked with PB

Thanks for sharing, it's a very interesting and nicely done poll. However, i missed it completelyc4s wrote:Back in 2012 it got a little quite around the team and some of us were concerned about PureBasic's future. So I initiated the "PureBasic Poll 2012" which was kind of successful with about 300 participants.
Yeah, nice idea, but 300 is kinda low number and those people are probably the core of the community, the most loyal of all. If you want to do something like that in the future you may want to get more coverage somehow.c4s wrote:Maybe something like that should be done again? With the same set of questions?! Could be interesting to compare what changed in the last five years...
Thank you for that lable. What about those using it once a week? Twice a week? Once a month?Anyone who refuses to pay $20/year to maintain a product that they use every day is a waster.
True. The SpiderBasic.com website is modern, though. Perhaps PureBasic.com should use the same template.Seymour Clufley wrote:revamping the website - it looks 2003 and is boring
That's just down to Fred having English as a second language (he's natively French). Not a biggie.Seymour Clufley wrote:fixing the English in the documentation - bad grammar seems unprofessional
This is true, but it never used to be that way. Fred was very active in this forum a decade ago, but now rarely makes his presence seen. I miss seeing him responding to posts quickly. In the old days, he'd be all over this thread on the day it started. I know times have changed (he's married now, and has SpiderBasic to develop) but there needs to be some sort of official PureBasic presence here. Whatever happened to Berikco? He's still listed as an Administrator in his profile, and he used to post all the time, too.Seymour Clufley wrote:Fantaisie are dreadful at PR, and not great at keeping in touch with the user base.
Fred has stated before that he'll never change the pricing policy, so this won't happen. Besides, when I bought I received lifetime free updates so such a new policy wouldn't apply to me. The "Donate" button appears on our personal user accounts when we log in to download the latest version, so anyone can throw some bucks in at that time if they wish, such as myself. I note, however, that SpiderBasic doesn't have lifetime free updates; so perhaps Fred has learned from PureBasic's "mistake".Seymour Clufley wrote:changing the pricing policy so that people have to pay a small amount (say, $10) for each new version.
Well, you can do it so I don't know what you mean: http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/ ... pfile.htmlfor example, we can't even define the user agent for our HTTP queries. Yeah, it's 2017, we live in a web-driven world, but we still can't do anything with it besides very basic things.
