On another note, the "upcoming events section" keeps throwing me off; every time I see "Berlin" I think to myself: "What the... Germany??"

Because the WBO exists as much as a historical archive as it does a message board. If people could go back and delete all their posts easily, it could destroy entire conversations.
I concur, and to add, I think it's wonderful because in thirty years you can go back into your history and see all the posts you made when you were young and carefree. It's a good chuckle - trust me.

I just feel bad for making Kai-V have to work so much. xD
Is it a new trend to find a word you like, translate it to Japanese, and make it your username? Cuz it's getting hard to keep track of people
Who does that? Glad you stopped me, because I was just going to do that as soon as I can change my username again.
Is that why there are invisible users? That's weird if so.

I'm not trying to disprove of it or make it seem like I'm shaming people who do this, it's just hard to keep track of people since I don't speak Japanese.

You are seen as an invisible user when you go to your user control panel and go under "Edit Options" and check off the box that says "hide me from the who's online list".
I see, thanks a lot.
Also if you are hidden,your name looks something like this:
Shido-kun*
Also,only mods can see you.

I'm confused, do you mean their names are Japanese (Characters, not letters)? Or are they romaji (English letters to spell out how you would say the word).

Their names are Japanese characters..

He traditionally Japanese writing, not anime characters.
Dual, you mean like my name? I never translated my name, haha.
Yah, and the whole translating thing was just a pattern I noticed.
I'm not saying it's bad, it's just I have no idea who you are XD
Edit: Checked your profile. Now I know who you are, haha.
