Well, I can't sleep, so I figure I may as well write this now.

A year ago, I don't think any of us expected Beyblade would come back so soon. We'd hoped it would, and sometimes we'd argue in vain it would (myself more than anyone), but we never really believed it would. And here we are, literally two days away from the launch of the latest Beyblade series, and it's hard to believe it's happening.

I've met so many people through Beyblade. My best friend, my lover of two years and future wife, and so many of you who have touched my lives. I can only hope I've touched yours.

Back in October when I started Beywiki, I didn't know exactly what was going to happen. But I knew what wouldn't; I knew it would never be the lively, thriving community that I'd always want it to be.

And here we are now. Beywiki is more alive than I ever could have anticipated, and it honestly fills me with joy.

I know I've had disagreements and maybe even fights with some of you, but I want you to know that I appreciate that you've come here and helped me rebuild this community. I'm so, so happy, and I want you to know it.

We're coming up on a year of being open now, and the growth is unbelievable. Here's to many years more.

Sincerely,

Brad "Bey Brad" Tiller, Beywiki Administrator

That's the first time you've said something like that about me on the boards. ;;;;;

Beywiki has really turned out to be my favorite online community. The members and staff here all do a great job at helping each other, and keeping the site in the great condition it is.

I can't wait to see how things turn out in the future.

Cheers, everyone.

We've been through thick and thin. This community is strong. Definitely.

And we love you too, Brad.

This has to be the forum I'm happiest with.

I translate Bakuten Shoot Beyblade and will (probably) do the same for Beyblade Burst as well. If you like my work, please considering donating so that I may continue to do so consistently! These episodes take time to do, and as a college student I can't always easily take time out of my schedule to work on them.

If you do donate, let me know in a PM so I can thank you with a quick sketch (unique to every donator).

That's really touching Brad, thanks. I appreciate a lot of people on the baords for what they did for me. If it wasn't for Beywiki and BotB, I would habe never made new friends and seen the places I have.

Cheers to the rebirth of beyblade.

"Twilight stands for the dawn and the dusk. Where do you stand?"

Thanks Brad this is the best beyblade site i have ever been on and everyday when i get home i log onto beywiki lol but man i cant believe its about to be a year it seems like yesterday that this whole this started and im glad im part of this beyblade family ive had some many of you help me out with beyblade and im sure i helped a couple of people all i have to say is ty Brad for starting this whole thing.

Beyblade will never die we need to keep it going no matter how hard it gets we can't give up i know i wont and i will keep training till i can beat some people who i really want to bey battle.

Aww shucks, Bradley.

If there's one thing I've learned through the years I've been involved with this community, its that we're a pretty tight-knit group. We don't separate very easily. I think that's easy to see if you look back at all of the sites that have come and gone since OtC that we've all been a part of.

However, I have to say that I think this is honestly the most successful one since and that hasn't been without a lot of hard work from everyone. I think we've done a great job so far, but there is still a lot to be done and with the launch of MFB right around the corner I think this site will continue to grow.

I for one couldn't be more excited.

Thanks Brad for making the Beyblade community strong. Without you most of us would not be skilled bladers as we are today. When I quit blading after OTC went down I always missed the blading community. A few months back I was bored and searched Beyblade and I found this place. Beywiki has sparked my interest to blade again!. Thanks Brad for everything.

Like everyone else said, thank you. Back in October, after 8 going on 9 years of blading, i had the idea of wanting to give up on blading. My collection of 100+ blades were stolen over 2 times nd i couldnt find anymore..there was no one to blade and beyblade.com was DEAD...but i never gave up my search and here i am today with new friends and can even participate in action-packed tourneys..i may have a small amount of parts now but i have become even 10x better at blading than before and have more knowledge of blades than i ever did and looking to get more since this site inspired me..thank u for keeping this community together and uniting us all and i wish u and annie the best of luck but who needs luck when u have love...thanks again

It's been a year already? That's fast.

Not much to say, but I'm really glad that I've been part of this community after all of these years

Edit: If there is anything at all i can do to help with anything on this site, please let me know

I need a sig....Bad..

These forums are very populated after a year, and all done by one person. Not too shabby.

Hey hey now, You can't forget about the other mods and people who helped =p
But, seriously, Beywiki forums are by far one of the best forums on the web, things are commanly checked, rules are actully enforced and pretty much everyone is friendly. The fact that this site also has a wiki packed with knowledge is a bonus too and is the source of about 70% of my knowledge on Beyblading now

I need a sig....Bad..

That's really nice, Brad.

I haven't been here for very long, but already I know that this is my favorite forum. Previous forums I've been too have been extremely strict and only have a few older members/moderators that actually help out and just...not that great. This forum is truly one of the best.

So I say thank you, to Brad, the administration, the older members, everyone. Thank you. This place certainly deserves to be successful, with all of the great members here.

HIP HIP, HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

All in all, I'm glad that I found these forums (well, bbf) while doing several consecutive google searches so that I could find someone to talk about Beyblades with XD

YAY

I am really happy im here and thank for help keep beyblade alive

---

B-)B-)

hey thanks Bey Brad

Brad, thanks to you as well.

A year ago, I never thought of touching my beyblades ever again. I found this forum, met up with a lot of old friends; and though we get into fights a lot...I love this place. Thank you Brad for keeping Beyblade alive, letting Beyblade continue, and most of all giving us all a place to talk and have fun with other Beyblade fans.
