We went to Anime North together this year!

@[Spinster] is alive and well, MissingNo.

That photo is from AN this year. Smile
I still remember 2010.

I can't believe it's almost been 5 years for me on this forum. I've seen so many people come and go it's crazy.

That's what I guessed, but it's just weird since he planned on going to AN and stuff. It's too bad, if he just suddenly lost intrest and never came back.

He told me he planned on going to AN 2015, which obviously didn't happen. Just wondering as I hope everything is ok with him.

I talk to him sometimes he said he didn't have the money to go.

Agreed.

I miss Yukoray14 Unhappy
I sure do wonder what crazy thing the WBO has planned for reaching 100,000 members, it is very close (about 5200 to go!). Whatever it is i bet it will be crazy as always!

They will hold a special Beyblade competition in commemoration of this achievement. It will bet he biggest event in the history of Beyblade and the winner will get a kiss on the cheek by none other than Blader DJ. Unfortunately, this victory is a double-sided coin for if their BeySpirit isn't strong enough than they just may implode on impact with Blader DJ's glorious Bey-Lips.
I think the fact that you guys are getting a new gen of Beyblade is celebration enough Tongue_out
I bet a lot of people have thought this before or just decided to ask about it... I really wonder what the Diamond face Pearl face and Stone face is for... the description is ??? and no one on the WBO has it... Is it like some crazy achievement? (Get 2000 bey points for diamond face? 100000 posts for stone face? and be like like a beyblade God for the pearl face?). Haha

Excuse you, but we already have a God of Beyblade.

I mean IRL not some fantasy world... o3o
So when a new Valkyrie comes out, will the banner change? The Pegasis wheel and Valkyrie doesn't make much sense.

Realtalk: I designed them before knowing exactly what they would be used for, and nobody ever got rid of them :') There was hope for using Diamond in relation to holding the #1 BeyRank, but that never panned out.

If that is the case, why haven't we given it to @[Blader DJ] yet?
But can we really trust Blader DJ as a judge without him having a DJ face?
Man, you're totally right. Blader DJ without a DJ face is shocking.

I get 1234beyblade's post wasn't supposed to be fully serious, but a face for X (maybe 2000 like he suggested) Beypoints doesn't sound like a bad idea. I mean we've got Platinum for being in the top 5 at some point, maybe one of those faces could be for reaching/exceeding X points and also have the date included in case the person goes below X again.

Although, this might not be very practical now. Since Burst is a new format completely different from everything else, we might not use the same points system. That's probably why Kei and the Committee are trying to automate it, so it not only updates automatically but also ranks differently for different formats.
Nobody is ever going to reach 2,000 BP ... lol.

Yes, one of the endless list of reasons why we want to update the BeyPoints System with separate rankings for each format and a Global BeyRank which combines them all is because of Burst. We can't mix that in with the current rankings which, while they are comprised of different formats, are all at least MFB-related. We've been talking about this for a long time now (before Burst was even announced) because we wanted to be proactive and make the system more efficient, smart (the amount of things we have to do manually right now is ridiculous; it goes beyond just BeyPoint processing. There's the BeyMap, Event Invites, the BeyPoints Queue thread, the Upcoming Events box ...), and extendable into the future. The announcement of Burst has simply forced us to accelerate our plan.
While your at it, how about you reset BeyPoints so we all have a fair chance? Smug

But seriously; we would have 2 different types of BeyPoints? That might be confusing for newer/younger members..
From what has been hinted at, I think we'll all end up with either 4 or 5 separate beyranks. One for MFB, one for Burst, one for Bakuten Shoot or two separte ones for HMS and Plastics and an overall one that sums our points in all of the other formats.

I would go further and say that regardless of whether you change the system or not, BeyPoints should (must) be reset at least yearly (hint: after BeyDays. You could even crown an actual champion). This never-resetting competitive point system makes no sense and will never be even remotely accurate. You just have to look at Bluezee and Deikalo's ranking to notice how silly it is for members banned three years ago to still be in the top 40.
