As a lot of you have noticed, you have probably realized that this website hasn't been active in quite some time. Now that I can't say the same for every user on here, but if you're wondering why nobody really discusses anything (at least users who have been on here for a long time) have moved on and taken their chapters in their life and focus on more important things.
You could go back less than 10 years ago and see that the activity was a lot higher than it is now. It's been quite a while since then, and this website has grown. So have it's users. It's always amazing to have new members register and join the Wiki to ask questions, submit programs for the archives, post answers to problems. I have watched this community grow and get where it is today, and it's astounding of the achievements that it's made.
But unfortunately just like everything in life, not everything is made to last. As of the last few years, Wikidot has gone downhill for a while and it's not what it used to be. Take searching the wiki or uploading programs to the archive for example, there are notorious problems and have been there for years. Many people have messaged the team about it being fixed, to no avail. In addition to that, wikidot is growing insecure since it wants users to cough up money to use HTTPS protocols to use their website, when majority of places nowadays use that for free.
While it isn't necessarily wrong to continue using this website as a place for asking questions for problems, I would recommend visiting Cemetech. It has an active community and is maintained more than Ti-Basic Developer and you would definitely see a decrease in time to get responses to your comments and posts then you would here.
Don't let this discourage you from posting here, but I've noticed some of you have posted questions awaiting answers and unfortunately I don't think those questions will ever be answered. I'm not saying I'm going to go around to every question out there and answer them right now, but I'm just saying that you would probably have a better experience with Cemetech. Everybody is absolutely amazing over there, and it's a definitely fun community to dip your toes in and collaborate with other members there and see what it has to offer.
I also want to point out that this website isn't going down anytime soon as far as I know, but what I do know is that Wikidot is slowly moving to another platform, I'm not sure when and I also don't know how it will affect this wiki here. I'm not going anywhere as there is no reason to, but I just wanted to post this because I believe it would provide a better alternative for new users to communicate and reach out to the calculator dev community regarding your questions and programs.
Well I'm kind of late to the party to say this and have the courage to admit this, but I'm the same person as TI-Basic Dude, GatoradeDC, BioHazard1282, and other relative usernames that relate to those I've mentioned. It's been quite a few years since that drama has happened, I've grown as a person since then and I take full responsibility of my actions that I have done long ago and I sincerely apologize to the community here for what I've done, I apologize for evading bans and creating alternative accounts to communicate on this platform when I wasn't wanted here. I recognize my actions and I understand that they have been extremely disruptive and upsetting for certain users. During that time I haven't obtained full maturity during those years as I was an early-mid middle school/junior high. I promise nothing like that will happen again, I'm not sure if any of you are active just see this message, but I just want to put this out there I'm sorry for what I did and I hope that there aren't any hard feelings. All of you have tolerated me for a long time and I still regret pushing you to your limits with my behavior. Thank you for your time and your volunteering to keep this community healthy and active, you all have put in countless hours of work to maintain TI-Basic Developer to what it is today, and for that I am greatful as I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you.
As for them administrators of this website, I have done my best to go over the rules to make sure that this post doesn't break any of them. If any of you have questions, feel free to message me here or send me a private message.
