It's true; people change interests, move on, drop out, or even just pass away. But try to bear in mind that this is a public forum, and not an official PureBasic support site. All the contributions that you speak of are just that; contributions. They have all been shared voluntarily by generous forum members as guides and examples, and sometimes even as full-blown tools, but all without any guarantees, warranties, or expectation of support.newtheogott wrote:I do not like the idea to assume that people who possibly just change their interest, to get declared "dead". Instead i wonder that nobody here ever had an address or Phone number from Gnozal. He was so popular here. Besides that there were more.

And being a forum, we take what we can get, use them, learn from them, and maybe even improve upon them. But what we don't do is impose upon the contributors, intrude upon their privacy, and least of all, expect them to exchange contact details so that they can be hounded by unreasonable forum members that expect more.
So, let's not worry about who's still around, or why they're not. Some perspective is important in this respect.
No, too subjective.
