Originally a personal response, worth sharing to reassure things are better for us.

Quote from: Albalaha on December 10, 2014, 03:07:10 AMI am glad that Victor, our admin here, have carried the forum with the co-operation from all of us despite not earning a penny from this place and hopefully the forum will continue forever like this.

Dear Sumit, there isn't a "BetSelection server" maintenance right now hence there isn't any further need for funding for BetSelection to remain online as usual. This site is piggybacking on BetSoftware.cc's server already, therefore betselection has a guaranteed existence as long as there is an active BetSoftware.cc with subscribers and operating to fulfill the world's gambling coding needs (i.e. presumably forever).

There will always be people studying gambling systems. There will always be a need to have software for such study and of course a demand for automation.

From an objective point of view, an active gambling software site selling related software services has a more solid financial prospect.

BetSelection as a community has various reasons to continue to exist without ever having to bring any dime to the table, for instance:

Being a place for members to post systems they want coded. BetSoftware.cc is focused on software discussion only, system discussion can happen here as usual.

Funneling visitors to BetSoftware.cc. Google and the other search engines pick text/content. A software site has lesser actual content, so this site becomes a part of BetSoftware's operation in the search engine field.

Having an active community where to test coded features.

This last point is becoming more relevant since there are plans for a technology site offering hosted home-grown web services. There's no better advertising for such services than featuring an active online community running on them smoothly.

The future for BetSelection.cc is more solid today than it ever was

We have a business model where BetSelection fits as a passive yet important player. There's simply no valid objective reason to shut our community down; it doesn't represent any burden by now, it is complementary to BetSofware's operation as a place for users to post systems to code, it is also going to assist the technology site down the road for showcasing our 'wares. It is earning its rooftop and place, even without having a direct financial need or goal involved.

Long live our BetSelection space & community!

Vic

Some of the tabs you carry are garbage.

My suggestion is to fix the 1001 bugs that betselection has and to provide the best forum features to assist discussion of systems. Or rather please give priority to large bugs. They are too many to list. From freezes when unable to write to strange things on the site.

If you do not plan to solve the bugs then the best option would be to restart the forum code from the ground up I guess. Easier said than done for sure.

Maybe it very expensive to develop a web forum software from the beginning? Why not a separate forum where features are placed and users are asked if developed feature works as intended to move on to the next one.

Perhaps by year 2018 we could have a functional forum. I was going to say year 2020 but I subtracted two years because of the new forum for programs is a reality. May we see a new betselection a reality to get two more years of expectations deducted for year 2016. Greetings and I think I speak for all forum members when I say we want only the best for this community over the years to come.
