WBO Random Thoughts

Oh cool, that is actually moderated by Bankee apparently, who is the official distributor for Beyblades in the Philippines. LMAO, you should definitely post that in the Beyblade's current state in Japan topic, as was mentioned.

Yeah, not exactly the best idea because more people are going to find it confusing than funny. If you want to impersonate someone, ask them first. Personally, I'd be pretty annoyed if someone stole my bio & avatar.

Yeah he said he will ask.
I have an idea

Maybe we could put music on our profiles that play when look at by another user

That would get soooooo annoying.

It would


I'm waking up
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age
To the new age...
There would be a mute button

But You'kno just an idea
That would annoy me, because even listening to "Baby" once will destroy the site for me...
I doubt you'd guys could handle the J-pop/K-pop I listen to, hah. A not bad idea, though. I've seen it on other fourms, but I don't think it'd suit the WBO.
While there are blog-like systems for individual profiles where we could probably find a way to integrate a music, I have so often thought of adding an optional jukebox that would play Beyblade music exclusively, like the Bakuten Shoot Beyblade Fighting Spirits opening theme, etc. However, I just do not know if it would be alright copyright-wise.
I was searching random things on Google and came up with this, this is how posts looked on the WBO back in 2007 I believe. (Staff and Older Members remember this):


It looks so simple but elegant, and looks a lot like what we have now.
I like the modern posts more, they look more HQ. Awesome Avatar though, Bey Brad.


EDIT: am I the only one that thinks the wheel on the beyblade in bey brads current avatar looks like flash?

*crops out image to get the squirtle avatar*

It's quite odd looking at that, as we have so much more now, hah.
Oh my, the nostalgia of my XP computer running things in 2007.
Looked nice for the time.
And that avatar <3
Question

How do you get more faces without going to tourneys and entering contests?

Look through the list of faces & their descriptions. You can get faces for making a certain number of contributive posts, making several quality testing threads, donating $10 to the WBO for a Blader Passport, participating in on-site scavenger hunts, etc.

I thought u didn't get a booster for buying a passport, but for just donating. If not a lot of people need face boosters haha.
You don't get a booster, but you do get the passport face :p
Do you have to donate extra to get the Eternal Passport face?
There's no eternal passport face for regular members. It will disappear after a year and you'll have to renew it.

That's actually from 2008. There was another, more predominantly orange/grey layout beforehand.

(Don't use this for yourself unless you ask Brad for permission)
That avatar might be the greatest thing ever.
Oh my squirtle
That is amazing.

Fixed it
It's the best avatar ever!

I really hope nobody actually tries to use it, though. I think it belongs to Brad and it should stay that way.
Be kinda wierd if anybody else had it imo. :\
