We want to share an important update with our Betfair Community users.
Over the coming months, the Betfair Community platform will be winding down. The final active day for the platform will be December 21st. From December 22nd, users will no longer be able to access the platform.
Your discussions, insights, engagement, and, most importantly, feedback have helped shape the platform and guided innovation. Your feedback continues to be important to us, and we will continue to listen via our dedicated feedback channels, as well as through product testing and innovations.

Today we are announcing the closure of the Betfair Forums. It will close, in five weeks, at 12pm on Wednesday 6 May. All of us at Betfair understand this news will be disappointing for regular users.
The Beftair Forums are extremely popular on digital platforms. More than 8,000 users regularly visit every week, and more and more are talking about Betfair on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
Amid that growth, traffic to the forums has reduced greatly. While there are around 8,000 regular visitors to the forums, the number of people who contribute actively has dropped below a thousand.
The Betfair Forums have been a rich, witty and fun space over the last decade and we acknowledge the strength of the community. We hope that you continue to contribute to discussions elsewhere online.
We will still be listening to you and we welcome feedback via this post, on our Facebook page and through Twitter. All feedback will be collated and shared with our team.
The forum's vast archive will remain online. We're giving notice so that you can make plans to migrate to alternative forums and spaces, say goodbye to fellow Betfair forum users and discuss this move.
We will respond to comments and questions about the closure on later in the week.
I'm 102 of those.
oh bugger me
Bito is on his way, brace yourself.
Will say sorry to MrNibbs and others that enjoy it for busting him so soon though.

Its a April fools joke
Maybe some thought that MrNibbs was posting a C&P of a message that betfair had sent him? But in that case they would have to send one to everyone. Why would they do that when they could just post one message on each forum for all to read?
Anyone who falls for things like this is indeed a fool, and not just in April
Why don't we all just stop posting on 7th May anyway to see if we can do it?
It would also show Betfair they can't take us for granted and use us a marketing lure for new customers.
Mind you that was so obvious!
It was a play on two men with the same stage name, the singer and the wrestler.
