Hello,

Since SourceForge will close support for some applications for projects (including phpBB) I'll tell to Allegro.pas users to use PGD forums. We're very few (3 or 4 users, including myself) so we will not made a lot of noise. ::)

Is there any problem? Note that I'm not asking for a sub-forum yet.

The SF.net forum was a bit slow. Since I am already memeber here ...
Waiting for the Allegro.pas 5 and 64bit. *Cough*

Good news for you: Allegro.pas 4.4.4 (that adds support for 64bit and fixes bugs and adds new functions) is almost finished. I'm checking documentation and examples, so I should release it this week.

I don't see the reason why sou should be using PGD forums for Alegro.pas discusions. Even if you would have hundreds of pepole using it I asume that all of them would be pascal game developers so they definitly fit in our forum.

Why they are closing support? Sourceforge I have always thought they are idiots, if you need some web-hosting for Allegro, I will set you up some free space, just let me know.

If PGD is not for supporting game library communities, then what else is it for? :)

Ok then. Thank-you.

They'll close support only for some services. They keep web, SVN, MySQL, PHP, file downloading...

If they're keeping PHP and MySQL, can't you install forums "by hand"? Of course people would need to register again instead of using SF name, but...

Anyway, I have request to PGD admins: Can you make Allegro.pas board in Game Engines section (same where there is JEDI-SDL one)?

Actually, they're keeping the old forums (http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/allegro-pas/). But keeping a forum is a hard work. I am member to a few of them and I'm planning to join to a few more... Too much work. :(
