As Far As I Am Concerned Reference My Forum

[alrelax]

I have locked most all topics and will continue to do so. 

The amount of participation amongst the readers are extremely minimal to trivial to non-existent.  So IMO it is not worth the expense, the time and the trouble involved to continue much longer at all.

The cost and trouble of maintaining this site is not worthy of much more time IMO. 

I profit absolutely nothing (Zero, Not One Penny) from the forum, no membership charges, no subscriptions, no advertising, no ad/banners/casino clickables.  I keep it safe and clean, etc., etc., etc.  Besides it really does take time and trouble to police it and squash the spammers and drama driven scum, et al.

Rather than spend about $1,000 a year, I rather buy my teen son a $10,000 high yield CD or Bond (9-13.5% easily) for the next 10 years.

Before the rumors fly.  Just FYI. 

It's been a good run, good luck to my few friends here.

Well in short IMO, the time, trouble and cost (although not huge I would gladly float but there just isn't the demand as I see it).  There is just a proven amount of too little interest, not your fault I understand. 

Virtually no participation, which when I weigh the pros and cons of everything, why continue?  Yes, we been down this road, but most everyone desires to watch YouTube these days to drown themselves with the fallacy and entertainment of a few hands here and there.  No one really is into any kind of detailed or experienced play, explanation of players decisions and outcomes, history of the casino/gambling industry, past stories, etc., etc.

There very well might be hundreds of members reading with great interest, but without input, responses and interaction, once again, why continue?  I even thought taking brick and mortar casino table pictures and posting them would be of interest.  But it did not.  I made quite a bit of profit and continually do so with varying BetSelection choices at the tables, and when I scan other forums they are rapidly discussing the search for guaranteed holy-grails by a continual specific type of wager, and discussing the application of long term statistics to a session of a few shoes.  ROMAL!  But that's what draws the discussion, not experienced play of any type whatsoever. 

Onward, with a bit of looking back.  I very well know the heavy participation of the forum here went away when I became the owner because I wouldn't put up with the high amount of one-liners, drama, name calling, degradation and attempts to rule a forum with drama, etc., etc.  We lost some great members to the name calling, the drama and related childish back and forth that went on.  Sad part is, those couple of dozen members went by the wayside and off the forum scene.

I really sat down and was ready to commit to the following, but.......... The end of last year I had plans with it all sketched out to install practice games of Mini, MIDI and 5 Treasures Bac, Blackjack and Roulette.  Along with a couple of other things.  But once again, (hate to be repetitive) I had to ask myself, why?  And the answer was clear.  Answer>>> Not enough demand or desire to warrant spending the cost for the custom development and maintenance of what it would take.

Personally, I admire you and a few others here, but the overall aspect of the entire aura of the whole forum, just doesn't justify the furtherance of it.  IMO and in reality.

I really do not desire to continue at this point.
