Why this forum is lightyears far from PureBasic forum?

Mmmm, yes makes sense ...

Even if it's similar, lots of commands are slightly different while having the same name. So the search would be really a hit or miss if all was in the same forums. Here you know that the found topics will be always relevant

Excellent point, it would be very confusing to search for SetClipboardText() expecting only PB results then finding people talking about iOS...
Or seeing two versions of MessageRequester(), one that takes one string and one that takes two...

I do still wonder if there's some way we could somewhat unify the two forums, though? Currently it feels very fragmented.

I am glad to hear the reasoning, though I feel if we had different subforums or categories, we'd still have a degree of separation for search purposes since you can filter by specific subforums (it supports multiple selection). I think there are more pros than there are cons, but that's all the rambling I'll do about it.

Searching on the PB forum sometimes I also get results about MacOS what I'm not interested at all
The decision makes sense anyway.

Now you can search on two forums
