Though there still appears to be a decent sized VB6 community out there. Btw, that new website of your's looks nice.

All the content from that publication used to be available online at what is now Visual Studio Magazine, but they dumped it for some unexplained reason. The VB Classic community is petitioning to have it put back up. VBPJ is Visual Basic Programmers Journal, or was rather.

Up until about a month ago, they were all still available for download. Back in the day there was some kind of hand off where Bill (the owner of KnK) said Darc would be his official successor. Then I think KnK went to being about knives and then it disappeared. I think it would have been smart if Darc had bought knk4life.com and knk2000.com from Bill when the hand off was taking place. KnK was the place to go for AOL development. Having it suddenly change it content and then disappear seemed like an odd way for it to go out. What's the VBPJ? That name doesn't seem to ring a bell.

What’s the VBPJ? That name doesn’t seem to ring a bell.

Pity someone didn't archive KnK. That place was massive in it's day. A pal I know as MS sent me the entire VBPJ archive for "safe keeping" We toyed around with the idea of releasing it on a P2P network since the content is no longer available online. It's a huge file, over 650 MB. You want to talk about a serious collection of VB examples and history. That would be it. I might be willing to share...keeping in the spirit of "safe keeping".
