VB6 is Alive!!!

[dclamp]

Bill Gates himself said he is going to fund the ressurection of VB6.X out of his own pocket because he knows how much people miss it.

Thank you all for your continues support. After much debate and consideration, Microsoft will start production on the newest version of Visual Basic 6. Microsoft does not have any funds allocated to this project, however, I will personally be funding the project until the proper funds are allocated. I am known as a philanthropist, and this is a worthy cause in my opinion.

Ads make the link pretty lame.

Other than that, nicely done. The post had elements of chain letters of yesteryear, along with other memes of yesteryear. It was kind of a pungent bouquet of memeness.

I don't get how you can miss vb6 :?

[Shaggy Hiker]

It's not that big, only three letters. That's easy to miss.

I am guessing you are talking about the pre-roll (no pun intended, although funny) ads. I didn't see any prerolls so I thought it would be a good video...

I was also trying not to give away the link.

Ok then

Ok, so which OS do you write apps for? I thought you were a VB6 coder, in which case aren't you pretty much stuck with Windows?

[dclamp]

Very well... Although I would assume people would click the link before continuing down the page. I have edited my posts to keep is a surprise.

I wish. I got a gig of posters and pics from 4chan. They include a lot of memes and "demotivational" posters among other things.
