Maybe Fred was 26 when he started on PureBasic, so he used the Z. Like how 13 is associated with marijuana.

Wow, mmmm, so, not a clear answer there...
I continue thinking the "Z" comes from BlitZ, because PB is inspired on BlitzBasic, (that's pure Fred's psychology)
But, how is possible a thread from 2001 and the first registered user in PBForum was Fred in 2002?? (You can see it by clicking on "Memberlist" at top of forums page)

upgrade back in 2002, and the old forums were migrated to the new phpBB
