Couldn't find the link, so it looks as though it has been deleted.

Please don't fret over it.
The reason stated was along lines "LBB is great, LBB having OOP is great, but mentioning LBB in the "Liberty Basic Testimonials" is wrong place".

Yes. Being banned from the LB Community Forum was the final straw. I've now removed LBB from my products page and announced that it's discontinued.
Having said that, I don't intend to take down the LBB webpage or download, and I expect this forum to remain, at least while there are still a few users out there.
Since I am no longer monitoring this forum regularly I would welcome volunteers to be moderators, to look after day-to-day admin such as deleting spam posts or moving threads to a more appropriate place. If anybody is interested, email me.
Richard.

What straw you talking about? In Arabia they said "The straw which brakes down the camel back" 
If I found a bug or something not works as expected, what should I do?
I did found something like that. 
You asking me to wound LBB down.

Yes,
That must be realized from the beginning, Richard lived in London, if he lived let me say in Baghdad, their could be some tolerance. But with a copyright belongs to a person from US, well, whey they create the copyrights low then?
It is not like Wine on Linux, Wine is very poor, can't support RTL languages, graphics ability is very limited, and many other points.
I know, Richard has a sharp brain like spark, he can't switch off his mind. He is a creator.
But I confused I don't know what to say and what he should do. This is the worst conflict I ever seen.
Since many days because of this I was very upset, I said to myself we have to ask the very old men like Gordon Sweet (he is in the age of my father if my father was still a life). Saying to myself look Gordon, help us, have you ever seen such conflicts, what should Richard do? ? ?
I think Richard don't need to cut his head a way or switch off himself.
The powerful thing we have these days is the micro controllers and Arduino as well, so a translators from LBB to the languages of these micro controllers will be great, I my self I will pay for such translator.
All the best to Richard T. Russell

I still don't understand why Richard should be banned from the forum. Was it because he advertised LBB there? Or where the people at the forum getting jealous so they decided to kick him off just for the sake of it?
Either way, I think Richard should be careful about what he's doing. If he is the creative type, I don't think he should suddenly cut himself from his own project like this. Being banned from a forum shouldn't stop him from being even more creative and awesome! Maybe he's got another, even GREATER secret project he's working on, and so stopping LBB development to concentrate on his new project! Let's just wait and see!

The exact same thing you'd do if you came across a similar issue with LB 4.x, find a way to code around it. If that fails, share it here on the LBB forums; the community is usually both willing and able to help with your problem.
As I've said before, LB Booster 3.0 is already complete and functioning software. There are no bugs to speak of and it currently provides more stability and useability than Liberty Basic 4.x. I spent years learning how to code around the bugs and limitations of Just/Liberty Basic, which is much longer than it's taken to get used to the many perks of a LB Booster + LB Workshop setup.
Thanx again, Richard. You've provided the Liberty Basic community with a superior alternative for our favorite BASIC dialect. It's all there, and with more Bells & Whistles than we could ask for. I only hope that you'll consider addressing any compatibility issues that may arise with Windows 10 so that we may continue to use LB Booster for years to come. Even better, release the source code under public license so that the community can maintain it themselves.
Now THAT would surely entice a few members to learn BB4W, present company included. ^_^

I don't expect there to be any, and anyway executables compiled using LBB v3.00 already contain a Windows 10 compatibility manifest!

I have had mixed reactions to that idea:

So what can I do which will keep everybody (or at least most people) happy?

LBB is now starting to be a good tool
i have [ some ] ideas for inprovement
[ see REM in next listning ]
Code:
class complex
''mr and mi are private now
''shoot be a choice able for public
dim mr , mi
''default parameters are nice to
''sub complex a = 0 , b = 0
sub complex
mr = 0
mi = 0
end sub
sub complex a , b
mr = a
mi = b
end sub
''if mr and mi are public
''these two functions are not nesery
function r()
r = mr
end function
function i()
i = mi
end function
''THIS is what i want to do :
'' function add( in as complex ) as complex
'' add = new complex this::mr + in::mr _
'' , this::mi + in::mi
'' end function
''or even better :
'' operator +=( in as complex ) as complex
'' return complex this::mr + in::mr _
'' , this::mi + in::mi
'' end operator
end class
this is nice to :
Code:
dim a() = { 0,1,2,3,4,5 }
''and
dim m(,) ={{0,1},{2,3}}

If you don't mind using the BBC BASIC 'escape' feature you can do:
Code: dim a(5)
!a() = 0,1,2,3,4,5
dim m(1,1)
!m() = 0,1,2,3
