Since cessation of development, Dev-C++ has become increasingly irrelevant.
The traffic on this forum has slowed to a crawl, and most posts are the same
old questions answered a hundred times before or in the "Read First" thread.
I no longer use Dev-C++ (for a long time), and no longer recommend it to
anybody for any purpose. Maybe I have contributed to its demise if anyone has
ever taken my advice!?
Lately the forum has taken an unhealthy turn with spammers adding posts to
existing and often old threads with little or no useful content and often
entirely irrelevant information just as a carrier for thinly veiled
advertising for irrelevant products and services. You know who you are.
For those of you who wish to still use the Dev-C++ IDE and MinGW/GCC I
strongly recommend the derivative and still maintained and supported wxDev-C++. For all those beginners who have
been misguided enough to end up with Dev-C++ five years after its best-
before date, you really really really need a good debugger; and that
discounts Dev-C++; do yourself a favour and use VC++
Express.
If you are looking for a forum where you get extraordinarily fast and high
quality answers, consider StackOverflow, the
tumble-weed is rolling across here.
To Wayne; so long and all the best to you and yours; perhaps we'll meet
elsewhere in the in the CyberSphere.
To Colin Laplace if you are reading; thanks for what was in its time a great
product and genuinely useful to me. I guess you saw the writing on the wall
for it long ago? It has been Eclipsed in more ways than one ;)
Last man out turn the lights off.

This is very sad. I consider myself too poor a programmer to actually change
the compiler I use for debugging purposes; I'm masochist enough to use
injection couts in order to do my debug.
I have used the forum only once until now. So, let me introduce the new
exciting software...joking. But really, I had a question, and you were there
with the answer. Its not much of a communication, or relationship, but I
really feel sad. You must have been very old and into this.
I have no opinion about your reasons, really. So all I say is...farewell!
