Based on the links on my signature alone, there's more than 10 BTC in food donations over the past year, 30 BTC on my lotto game, hundreds in private escrow transactions, and there's a local exchange (local to me) running for a few months now. I only have one rating on OTC and a few on localbitcoins.
No offense taken that you wouldn't trust me with your bankroll; but what I've done for the past few years should give you an idea. You could always click on this one:

It would probably take far less effort on my part to build my own dice site than to attempt to mimic JD in every function yet I chose #2.
I think you're better off just creating your own dice site then. You take less effort, and no one will get upset. But I'm not sure how you can get your neg rep removed. You'll either have to live with it and learn a lesson along the way, or you create a new forum account.
Abandon the project and open a new account because one negative rep that was given to me unreasonably and a couple of people that are upset? Sure sounds a bit drama queen like.
