Reason: Removal of AutoHotkey_L from the website

We have retrogressed three years. The home page now promotes a version which contains everlasting bugs and is lacking in functionality. New users will not be able to run HUNDREDS of scripts from the forums because of this.

I will make my argument over the next few days, and if my voice is not heard, then I will leave.

Huh?? What's up with the new homepage anyway? I fully agree with Nimda that AHK_L should be there, prominently. Why isn't it there anyway?

It's pointless beyond reason to try to revive an ages-old version that should be let to rest in peace. I've decided to do the same thing as nimda:

I will make my argument over the next few days, and if my voice is not heard, then I will leave.

Oh, and if we have gone back to 2009, shall I remove SciTE4AutoHotkey v3 and replace it with v2?

Maybe sumon is trolling for over-reactive drama queens. :roll:

I thought there would be more discussion before the new homepage went live...

Hi guys,

I guess only a hand full of members will remember me. I've started with AutoHotkey in 2004 (?) at the time Chris Mallett discussed to implement hotkeys in AutoIT!

Once his suggestions have been rejected by the AUT development he created AutoHotkey alone, and one of the main things why I've started to script at all was the amazing manual he wrote to support AHK newbs like myself. His focus was always on KISS (AKA "keep it stupid simple" <> "keep it simple stupid").

So I'm thankfull for this statement ...

plastikglass

" ... I feel that the greatest asset that AHK has is getting non-programmers interested in scripting, and making AHK their number one choice."

I can see quite often that developers forget to think about their "customers" and instead getting on a psychodelic ego-trip (I know they are artists and wants to be treated that way ). Nevertheless without a community its only half that fun, isn't it?

Thx for listening to my miserable English.

Keep things going!

BoBo

BoBo almost always posted as a guest as some version of BoBo

I counted some almost 9500 posts under his versions of names.

AMEN . sure we seem kind of split up right now but there are efforts under way :shy: . dont give up on us now.

I have missed your posts in utilities and your witty replies. It is for community like you that i have done what i have done. Many if not most of us spend more time in these AHK boards than in popular social media. This IS our hangout. Please dont give up on us entirely. we mis you
