The tab of discord

As long as it's legal, I'm a big proponent of a free flow of information in this time and Internet age; the "tab of discord" has nonetheless been removed since I'm not here to wage wars, but living by the "moving forward" motto.

The tab was added in good faith. New posts feed or not, it takes perhaps 10 minutes to set a parser for any public webpage links to make it a tab, but if it's thought of as a war cry instead of looking it as a validation of community integration -as it was the original intention- it's better to keep peace and just let it go.

If in the future I'm asked to restore the tab, there is absolutely no problem from my part to do so.

The tab can be easily reinstated at a later time with just a "ping". No problemo!

The always-extended helping hand

There was an "@Stef" thread published by me in Betforum. In it there was some code and my offer of a helping hand in what I could assist with IT-wise.

I found out the thread was removed, yet the underlying spirit for burying any hatchet stays past it.

MY HELPING HAND REMAINS EXTENDED.

I don't know everything, but I'm willing to assist with what I know if it's for the benefit of the community.

No big conspiracy theory here

There's no big conspiracy theory in what I'm going to mention. Just something that happened: We were going to do a profit-sharing venture but I got laid-off in the interim and couldn't afford to do it anymore. It doesn't mean I'm an enemy, or that I suddenly turned into a creature which came out of a horror novel . It simply means at this time I can't afford to work 100% to earn 75%. These are sensible times for me and my family, which I'm entirely certain we'll surpass. I have not a single atom of doubt the best is yet to come for us, and by extension to all of those who choose to accompany us under our BetSelection roof (and associated sites in time).

Even when it's my personal life aspect and I would have liked to have retained privacy in what was disclosed publicly about my family and life (plus in general with all chat logs; as mostly everybody would, in all my 1-on-1 chats I did with Stef, I chatted and PM'd with him having full expectation of privacy for the messages), now it's out there and I can safely say it isn't shameful to be laid-off. So I take no offense, it can happen to anyone.

---

Finally: Yes, some things just happen; they aren't pre-meditated nor backed by a big conspiracy. They just happen, and we have to do our best with what we have at hand to overcome them. That's the quid of the moving forward philosophy. The alternative to "moving forward" being "stay the same and cry forever", but it never solved anything. No matter how hard you fell, your best move is to stand up and get yourself back on track.
