Oh, Tomm is our programmer friend, so I think that happened when we had some troubles with Faces not showing up, or usernames not being displayed in the list of people for a specific Face.
Just quickly: I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but can anyone tell me why I keep getting "banned" when I am clearly not? Like, I'll go on this website, probably read a couple threads, and then close the page down. I come back to it later and get faced with a message saying that I have been banned. So I leave it for a while, then come back and find that the message is no longer there...which makes no sense. It might just be something with me, but I don't know. I was just wondering.
Is the any beyblade championship in India

I just looked in your list of IP addresses, and yours changes arguably a lot. While some people will have dynamic IP addresses that always start with the same digits, yours can go from 83. to 105. to 119. without any warning. That means that when you reload your Internet, your IP address most likely changes and becomes part of a range which we had to ban previously because of undesirable Members who used a lot of IP addresses in that range.

At least you can still most of the time get on the site; the only solutions to fix the problem entirely would be for us to either unban the IP range, which we often cannot afford to do in case the undesirable user comes back, or for you to somehow ask your Internet provider to have a fixed IP address instead of one that changes all the time.



Harsha2001, there are several tournaments in India every year, notably some organised in Mumbai by ashton pinto, one of the Members here. None have been championships so far, but anybody can host events on the World Beyblade Organization, so it is just up to one of you guys who lives there to take the initiative to organise something big or even regular tournaments.
Hey do we have car stickers IE the white ones people stick on there car windows. I woud love some WBBA/ WBO ones. Or whee I can custom stickers made like that? Google only yielded me a place to get stickers with pre-made designs on them.
Why is the "Face of the Wyvern" labeled as the DJ Face on the Face Collection page? [Image: faceofthewyvern.png]

And why isn't this face, the DJ Face, awarded instead? [Image: djface.png]


And why are there two of these?!
Does the moderator list thingy look shorter than usual or is it just me? Have any moderators been un-modded any time recentlyish?

Arupaeo was demoted and Sarabs Scientest as well. Maybe some other inactive ones as well.
Real Madrid, wpardin and Okarinamuu are also no longer active. Okarinamuu's last visit was in 2013. Wow. (They're still in the list by the way)
the community has manu thing to do and to think of so it could be not up-to-date but i'm sure they will do something about that when they have times and if its important to do.

you have too much time on your hands Tongue_out

As true as that may be, I actually just noticed the difference in passing:

This led me to compare the two, which also led me to discover their different file names. But yeah, thanks for the explanation. (And for the record, I like the tweaked design better.)
Gosh, I noticed that months ago but I just thought I was crazy or something, haha!
Alright, to put it bluntly, this is annoying:

Why the heck is my laptop always showing those weird I’ thingies?!?

Ah, that is because of our latest migration. For some reason, when upgrading, it completely changed our text formatting or whatever and everything that was a special character, such as French accents, was replaced by those symbols. If you see them in 'regular' English posts though, that means that the person was probably using the special Word apostrophes and quotation marks instead of ' and ".

They are Team Accounts.
How do you get the amethyst face? ( I need it to show people that I'm not a noob!!!)


Also umm how do you get a signature?
Nobody's gotten Amethyst since 2011, so seems like it must be hard to get now. Pretty sure it's given to people who are considered "Advanced" bladers. You only joined a month ago, so it's definitely too soon to think about that. Keep learning and helping others and you'll be rewarded for it!
So I saw this post in this thread and just thought it would be more appropriate to discuss here.

This part of the post is what interested me. Is that how Beypoints are actually calculated? I looked up the ELO ratings and stuff so I'm wondering does the WBO still use a similar method?
Obviously it's different now than it was back then given the wording her post and the event size multiplier from 2013, but is the ELO equation roughly what the WBO uses nowadays? This question should come as now surprise after I asked about the statistics for Beypoints, haha.

I plugged my results from the NC qualifier, MFB Beybattle Revolution, and TBR into this website and it put me at 1474, which is probably overshooting it, since I don't know what the new K-factor or size multiplier is, and didn't adjust my opponents' points as they went through the tournament as well.

I remember some brief petitioning to give the Amethyst to Ingulit and TheBlackDragon a while back, but nothing ever came of it...

If anyone's deserving of an Amethyst for contributions to MFB, it's those two.
And just a quick question: How do I get the Eternal Passport Face? Only Beybrad so far from what I've seen has it.

You need to be part of the WBO comitee,or have large contributions like Dark Mousy.
Pretty sure Dark_Mousy got it because he managed WBO social media accounts; everyone else with one has been on the committee at some point.
