Last post by Ian Vincent - Today at 09:35:38 AMPaul, best wishes for your retirement.
Over the years, you have provided far more than most, and with a level of patience that I can only admire.
I hope you can find a way to keep in touch with both the FB and PB community, even it is infrequent.
Best of luck.

Everything has its time.
This is "bad" news for me/us and very unfortunate, but I can also understand it.
Even if programming is a hobby or passion of yours or ours, no one wants to do it until life is over.
If you want to keep the program up to date for now, that's also good news in a way.
I wish you all the best in your new phase of life and lots of time for yourself, family, grandchildren or whatever.
You and José have spent a lot of time creating programming environments or libraries that make life easier for me/us as "hobby programmers" without us having to acquire in-depth knowledge of APIs etc. In the end, we were the beneficiaries. In the end, we were the beneficiaries. In the end, we were the beneficiaries.
In the end, we were the beneficiaries of your passion.
Your name and José's name are firmly associated with WinFBE.

Last post by Wilko Verweij - April 15, 2024, 02:41:48 PMThanks so much Paul. I was not very active anymore in the past few years but I learned a lot here (also from José of course). It is a pity that the forum will disappear completely. Is it possible you make a backup before you close, in case someone else wants to continue this?
Thanks again, Wilko
Thanks again, Wilko

Last post by philbar - April 15, 2024, 11:22:18 AMHere's to you, Paul, and I hope retirement is good to you.
I've watched WinFBE grow from essentially a text editor with a compile button and some great examples to a full-fledged Windows developer (with great examples). It will continue to be my go-to tool for making Windows programs.

Keeping the SQLitening forum going was also something you did not have to do.

It is regretful that you have decided to close the forum.
You made programming possible for me with Firefly and WinFBX.
Your support was unrivaled in the industry.
I will sincerely miss you and your kind advice.
You and José took me from absolute zero, miles above where I ever thought I would be.
Thank you for that.
Now a new challenge awaits where to go for Hobbyists as the software industry is changing with unimaginable speed.
I hope you enjoy your retirement. May it be a great time to relax, do other things and learn a few new things.
May you be blessed.

Last post by Paul Squires - April 14, 2024, 03:31:22 PMHi everyone,
I recently retired and as part of this new life transition, I will be closing the PlanetSquires forums and pulling back from programming in general after a brief transitional period as outlined below:
April 14 to April 30, 2024: No changes.
May 1, 2024: The forum will become read only disallowing new posts and no new member registrations.
May 31, 2024: The forum will be removed.
Additionally, I will not be answering programming questions via email.
If there is anything on this forum that you would like to archive for your own purposes then it is imperative that you do so before May 31, 2024.
WinFBE will remain available via the GitHub repository and I may answer questions related to WinFBE via the FreeBASIC forum post for the WinFBE project if I happen to see the questions during my browsing. However, I will try to keep WinFBE up to date with the latest FB compiler releases.
Thanks,
Paul Squires
