I hope to get back to the monthly schedule if I can find the time. I'll be the first to admit that the magazine's lost a little bit of momentum, but it's not like QB Express is down for the count. Second, becoming a bimonthly magazine for a few months instead of a monthly isn't going to kill QB Express. Honestly, I don't know what you're complaining about. I mean, there are NINE tutorials this month, FIVE comics, one of the biggest news briefs sections ever, and a ton of other articles! Before QB Express, it was unheard of for a QB magazine to have more than four or five tutorials a month.I just think that QB Express' huge success has made people have hugely inflated opinions of how much content a magazine needs. The submissions were a little bit slow this month, and we have had bigger issues in the past, but this issue is still huge. i mean pete's been busy.the damage is done- three months is a long time to see qbe get irregular!įirst off, QB Express still gets plenty of submissions. the main reason no one is sending stuff in to qbe is because (i think, and at least two others have suggested something like it) is that there is an unconscious feeling it won't be published anyway. My hope is that there is something in QB Express for everyone, and I think we've succeeded so far.Ģ. Passing on one article doesn't ruin the experience of reading the entire magazine. Why should I pander to one specific group when I can deliver content that will appeal to everyone, whether they're a beginner or an expert? If you aren't skilled enough to understand a tutorial, skip it. There have always been tutorials covering a wide array of topics, for both beginners and advanced coders. I mean, we've had a half dozen tutorials that introduce people to the PRINT command! Besides, a lot of the tutorials in QB Express are *very* basic. I myself certainly am not a good QB/FB programmer. Very few people who read QB Express are "elite" coders. I disagree completely - QB Express is a magazine for EVERYBODY in the Qmunity, of all skill levels. qbe is becoming a magazine for the highly skilled, mostly. it is becoming too specialized, and although pete says he will publish anything about qbasic/freebasic (indeed, thanks to his server he can publish just a little more than pcopy can) the fact is that most things will not FIT there. QBE is becoming something most members of the qmunity (my qmunity) have no reason to post to. Here are some of his claims - and my responses:ġ. Hearing the criticism, mennonite went on a tirade against QB Express. But some QB Express fans started questioning the new magazine, saying it would hurt QB Express and that there was no need for a second BASIC magazine. In that post, the moderators of ASCII-World (MystikShadows, lurah and mennonite) announced the creation of a new QB magazine, entitled "PCOPY." When I heard about PCOPY, I was happy, and wished them well.I believe that there's room for many more QB magazines in the community, and the way I see it, the more activity, the better. I'd like to rebuke some of the jabs people have made at QB Express lately, particularly in this thread. But rest assured: As long as you, the readers, continue to submit content, QB Express WILL come out, sooner or later (preferably sooner), and it WILL continue to maintain the same high quality that it has always had. Ideally, I'd like to pump an issue out right on schedule on the fifteenth of every month, but sometimes life gets in the way.and the issues always end up taking far more time to write/compile than I ever expect them to take. Sure, things have slowed down the last few months, and the issues have started coming out on a bimonthly basis - but I am still dedicated to publishing QB Express as often as possible, and always doing the best job that I can. Well, to quote the great Mark Twain, when his obituary was erroneously published: "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." This past month, there has been a lot of speculation and a lot of conspiracy theories that QB Express is "dead" or "dying," that I don't care about the magazine anymore, and that nobody is submitting articles.
