"Take ALL my work out of the repo. I no longer feel that the project as it exists supports the spirit of BASIC with which I wrote my code and inserted itself into the project, and I refuse to give any rights to keep my code active and inside the source any longer. Failure to remove all my contributions from the language will result in my pursuing legal recourses against copyright infringement."
Ummm...that is not how it works. The property of the code goes back to the policy in place when the code was donated. You cannot after-the-fact change your mind and demand compensation for something that you donated to the project. I do not know what policies were in place when the code was uploaded. He cannot retroactively change the licensing just because he feels like it.
Regarding "pursuing legal recourses against copyright infringement." - uhhh...really? So he is going to spend good money on attorneys to fight this with zero chance of any compensation? All because he wants to be difficult?
AND LASTLY...$200-something per year? Consider it DONE !!! If there is any chance of bringing this project back around to be under proper management and have servers up and running again, I will pay HostGator (or whomever we go with here) for this next year in full. Just let IM me here (if these forums allow that) and we can get together to guarantee another year...
You ARE still around !!! WooHoo!
Your posts on the old forums were soooo helful. Thank you for all your help in the past. I still have copies of your toolboxes you posted.

Are you going to set up a new Patreon? I need to figure out how to disable the old one. I'll gladly keep my monthly $2 donation heading your way. I know I've been like a ghost for the past 1+ year but that doesn't mean I quit using QB64. I still find time to bang out games now and then.
