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