Hello there! The recent announcement of my resignation and "letting go" of the board may come to you as a surprise. As a matter of fact, just a few days ago it wasn't even on the table!
This was a flash agreement picking up a former one with Glen as part of the possible paths for the board.
The big-picture scenario being this:
I've quit my day job & I'm moving forward in this (rather wonderful) "game of life" toward fulfillment by doing what I love.
Programming for the public domain and actually discussing systems/methods is more in line with my inner/personal goals, so I've taken on the opportunity.
My new spaces being developed are PublicDomain.site + BetOnly.site
Our paths are still together for the next five (5) years as I remain the forum's tech guy during this period as per the new agreement.
As I leave all "forum politics" aside to focus on software development and actual betting-only engagement @ the new sites, productivity comes as a natural byproduct in the form of new releases for our community and the internet at large.
I took this step to begin living a more-enriching life as a result of this move. My wife is supportive of it since my online goal is driven (first & foremost) by sustaining our family. She's happy, I'm happy, our son's happier, the members who want to discuss bet selection & actually see something coming in the form of software surely get to be happier.
Also, members who enjoy the forum "as is" should be happier too since BetSelection.cc basically remains the same it has been posting-wise for some time now with no disruption in sight for the foreseeable future.
Well, just wanted to express my side.
I go back to productivity & coding. As we expand to doing public domain work now, we are poised to be a positive force for enriching more than one life.
May some of you who read this use and enjoy the new software releases & dig our new endeavors/sites.
A balanced, focused & happy,

There most certainly are fortunates and unfortunates, depending upon whom you may be Vic in this situation.
Many of the members will not care one way or the other. However, some of the most outspoken ones will dramatize their own agenda based upon their own interpretation of the situation based upon their own thoughts, selfishness and position as written by themselves. And if they were negative on it before, they will multiple that many times over in support of themselves, not you, not the board, just themselves.
On the other hand, the members that are positive with this situation and history happening will most likely not publicly support you or the board because of those aggressive members that we already dealt with. Sad, but absolutely true.
As far as what is best for you, is the utmost importance as no one had more in the game here than you did. Period. Numerous positive things can of course come out of all of this. It takes dedication, work and substance. The three things IMO, that are always needed in most anything to change it, stay with it or improve things. And to accomplish those very things, DEDICATION, WORK and SUBSTANCE, it takes a heck of a lot more than hatred, aggressive words, negativity, and dialog by a handful of members that are drama driven and bar room brawlers on their best nights at the key board. A heck of a lot more!
Funny how the people that have the least in the game or the nothing in it, act like they are the most effected by the change. But in reality, it is like that in many things in life anyway.
