WBO Random Thoughts

This. Add on top of that, a lot of people use AdBlock these days, so there really wouldn't be much of anything gained.
Have they always been rows of 4 faces because I thought they were rows of 5?

EDIT: Never mind. Just my computer glitching.
Re: advertising — it was always a goal of the WBO to seek partnerships over stuff like banner ads, which I think none of you guys want and which I don't think you'd click very much of anyway. That said, I think there's cool ways to make those partnerships a bigger part of what the WBO does, and other ways that more money could be brought in to run great events. I'm hoping I'll be able to help out in that regard.

Unless it's an ad for shopping for Beyblades or online toy stores that sell them; sad to say regardless of how much I love the WBO and would like to support it, I'll use AdBlock.
I'd sit there and just click the ad a bunch of times if you guys got money for it. Lol. It would be worth it for sure I think. More money, more events, better prizes just for us looking at ads? Seems good to me
hahaha, advertising doesn't quite work like that, sadly Unhappy

On my laptop it's rows of 5, but on my phone it's 4. Just what we need, more of @[Kei]'s faces stretching out the place haha

Happened after the face arranging update.
Wow, love the new arrow thing to basically minimize the faces on everyones profile, it makes everything seem so clean!

Thanks committee!
I have a theory about a "Beyblade Burst alphabet".
Have you ever noticed that Valkyrie has a V, Kerbeus has a K, Ragnaruk has an R, Spriggan has an S, Deathsizer has a D, Wyvern has a W and Trident has a T in the center of the Layer,
Wing has a W, Central has a C, Heavy has an H, Spread has an S, Oval has an O and Armed has an A on the two sides and that
Accele has an A, Defense has a D, Survive has an S, Fusion has an F, Claw has a C and Massive has an M in the center of the driver?

Maybe there are going to be 26 secret alphabet Beyblade combos and one Beyblade / three parts for every letter of the alphabet.

So far we have:
A = ___ Armed Accele
C = ___ Central Claw
D = Deathsizer ___ Defense
F = ___ ___ Fusion
H = ___ Heavy ___
K = Kerbeus ___ ___
M = ___ ___ Massive
O = ___ Oval ___
R = Ragnaruk ___ ___
S = Spriggan Spread Survive
V = Valkyrie ___ ___
W = Wyvern Wing ___

What do you think about this theory?
That belongs more in the Beyblade Random Thoughts topic than here, but of course since they decided to write a letter on each part, then there cannot be two different parts with the same letter. However, I would not say that they will necessarily fill the alphabet three times.
Why do people quote prices that are old and no longer apply. It's just inaccurate. The prime example is people quoting around $40 for a NIB Wolborg MS. It hasn't gone for that price in years. The best you could do was a year or so ago it went for that price on YJA but then that was just the auction price. Like seriously guys.

Well, at the same time, interest for older Beyblades has really decreased, so besides a few exceptions, they often do not sell, these days, for 'normal' prices.
I suppose but to a large extent the sellers have not decreased they're prices. And the price for a NIB Wolborg MS is certainly not $40.
I would have appreciated if it was, then again, everyone else would get to it first.

But with Burst happening right now, it's going to get worse for the prices isn't it?
I dunno. MFB launch drastically raised the prices of older Beyblades. Renewed interest.
It's only going to get worse for the dinosaurs from here.
They're going to discover that Bump King wasn't actually real...

So do I have to add the direct url to my social media when adding it to my User Page? For example, adding my Instagram as just "Loli.iso" will still give a hyperlink, but to the 404 for beywiki. I just think it looks a lot more cleaner to just have the username and have it redirect to Twitter, Facebook, etc rather than having the full link in there.

Try it out ? I think it might take the full URL though.
The social boxes in your profile accept HTML. Try this:
Code:
<a href=DirectLinkToYourInstagram>Loli.iso</a>
I just noticed that @[Echizen] hasn't been here since last month.
Not sure if this has been posted or not but anyway.

Ahh i thought i was in a diffrent thread haha. Wrong random thoughts. Thanks!
assuming the 33.24 members per day is properly calculated, we are only 136 days off getting 100,000 members

But I mean I'm guessing that number is way out of proportion
