myCenter is an application service group founded and created by Sloss2003, also known as Matthew. Their main focus is to provide an application center service platform alternative after the shutdown of popular application service site Terabyte Services.

Application Service
On early February 2019, myCenter application services was launched and shown to the public. It followed the same philosophy of Terabyte Services, in which they both use a dedicated website to review applications submitted by a user from a pre-made Roblox game. However instead of using private modules, myCenter adopted a more open-sourced code strategy.

Version revisions
myCenter's website and service has gone under several revisions from Version 1 (Never released to public) to Version 4 (Current as of 9/8/2019). 

myCenter V2 was the first version of myCenter to be released for use by the public, it offered a primitive UI interface and received mixed receptions by the public. It is also the first version to introduce ranking bots.

myCenter V3 used a new database system with higher security protocols as a result of the site breach of version 2 by supposed "OurMine" hackers. It features a brand new site UI alongside a new Roblox GUI. Center customisation and Discord bots were also added in this version.



myCenter V4 once again upgraded databases due to the increasing userbase, this version is the most current and introduces plenty of new features such as Auto Grading, improved bot functionality, faster load times, more customisation options and a group bot feature that manages your group. As with all the previous version changes, V4 also comes with a new UI and GUI change for the site and Roblox. Discord bots were removed from this version.

Ourmine hacking of V2
On February 22nd 2019, myCenter's website was modified due to a XSS coding breach. The hacker used the identity of infamous hacker group "OurMine " but this was proven to be just a false persona. The site soon after got shutdown by the developer and new security protocols were added soon after.

Universal Services
Following the disbandment of Terabyte Services, many alternatives came to the surface to claim what it left. One of these is another application service called "Universal Services ". myCenter and Universal Services were both head to head in the application service race and thus a rivalry was born. Situations got out of hand when Universal sent a PSA defaming myCenter with false claims, in retialation myCenter also tried to slander Universal Services reputation and this resulted in raids from both of their respective Discord servers. An agreement was made between both ownership teams to end the situation and both groups are on good terms as of current.

Ownership disbandment
Due to disagreements between founder Sloss2003 and Co-founder 0live_r, tensions began to rise between the ownership team which resulted founder Sloss2003 leaving and creating a new myCenter group and 0live_r keeping and running the main myCenter group. This caused the site to go down as Sloss2003 is the main programmer and resulted in over 2,000 users having their application centers inaccessible. The service soon started loosing it's userbase and agreements were quickly made between the two ownership teams in reunifying the group.

After this event, 0live_r left the group.

Bots
Users often criticise the availability of myCenter's application bots service. Introduced in version 2, the bots service was created for auto ranking applicants in groups. However to avoid paying for services to solve Roblox FunCaptchas, myCenter decided to utilise a staff member system where users can apply to be in the Captcha Staff and help solve captchas in order for the bots service to work.

This was a very unstable system as staff members were often offline, resulting in many bots not working. This continued on until V3 until then in V4 the problem was solved and automated. However due to Roblox's firm stance on bots, the bots service is again unavailable thus public reception of this service is very unpopular.
