WBO Anniversary 6! And it's only the beginning! (Scavenger Hunt now free-for-all!)

Happy anniversary, everyone!

There's so many things on the horizon that I'm looking forward to. What we're hoping to do with both the WBO Book and the BeyPoint System upgrade is very exciting.

It only appears for guests, not users. Unless you have logged out and can't see it, then I don't know what's wrong.
Weird....I can't see it either...

...To anyone that can see it;Mind doing a screen cap?
