WBO Random Thoughts

Dormantspirit is the only deleted account, Kei Deleted it instead of banking it accidentally.
I just came across this blast from the past in my e-mail:

Beyblade returns this summer, and more Beywiki news! Wrote:Hello Beywiki members!

It has been an exciting month for Beywiki. With
the breaking news that Takara-Tomy will be
reviving Beyblade this summer, with the first
products being released on August 9th, 2008, there
has been a surge of energy within the community.
By the way, if you haven't heard this news yet,
check out the forums! You can bet that when these
products come out, you will be able to find
hands-on reviews of them almost immediately at
Beywiki.

I know that the wiki updates have been a tad
stagnant as of late ... but change is in the air
for us. I haven't been able to work on the wiki
because I don't have my Beyblades with me, but all
that will change at BEYBLADE'S NOT DEAD! this year
...

Oh right! BEYBLADE'S NOT DEAD! will be hosted at
Anime North on May 24, 2008. We have loads of
prizes to give away so make sure to stop by if you
want some! Check out the forums for more
information.

As I was saying, I'll be getting my Beyblades back
then, and I'll be able to do more. I've created a
new logo and banner for the forums, and you should
see the graphics show up on the wiki, along with a
redone home page, quite shortly.

Members have been signing up every day and we're
almost at 200 members. We're the most popular
Beyblade website in the world right now! Thanks
for all your support, and if you haven't stopped
by in a while, check us out; you have nothing to
lose.

200 members and we were the most popular Beyblade site in the world! I don't think anyone could ever usurp us at this point haha. Unsmith
Almost 200 members ? Haha, wow, this is a great find.

Might as well be the only Beyblade site in the world at this point, haha. Actually... Are we? (Not including official sites from Hasbro and Takara, of course)
I'm sure the Internet contains it's fair share of WBO ripoffs and wannabes, plus a couple legitimate sites.
Almost off-topic but hey, that is the only post that matches your column of Faces, Kei. Finally, hah.

I'm pretty sure we didn't even have 1,000 members by the time we relaunched as the WBO in December 2008. We absolutely exploded in terms of membership in 2010 when Hasbro re-launched Beyblade.

Basically. There's always other sites that crop up when a Beyblade series is active, but they all fade away for the most part. That said, back during the first series there was much less consistency overall in terms of where the community was focused, resulting in several memorable communities like: Street Beyblade, Off the Chain, Damashii, Beyblade Spirit, Ty Kamara (this was more Anime/Manga focused, but it's actually still up: http://z3.invisionfree.com/Ty_Kamara/index.php), Beyblade Central, GenocideBB, BeyUK, LightningRevolver, BeybladeForums ... There was so many!

Here's a couple graphics from some of those sites I happen to have saved on my computer:

@[Shido-kun] No, banking. He forgot to bank that user .

Was it just me, or was WBO down for 30 minutes?
It was just being blocked by an error because I was attempting something. It was not actually down.

Oh, OK Smile What were you testing?
Making our second subdomain, the Beyblade Spirit encyclopedia, go back up. It would have worked, but we apparently do not have enough space ...

Oh, just let me know and I can change that. You can have powers from one group but the 'main' group will be something else.
Well when organizer was my primary group, I didn't have access to the Mod CP Tongue_out. That's why it's not bold.

This is why forum mods should have a special color Wink.
Oh, I just remembered that issue. If there was a colour that was less blue than the hues used for Global Moderators and Committee Members, without being too 'flashy' in that they contrast with every other colour we have here, we might use that.
He still is, but now that he's a moderator of Your Creations, he changed his primary user group.
Yeah, he hosted tournaments in Indiana.

Step 1: immediately log out.
Step 2: go to the who's online list and state in amazement.
Step 3: screen shot and save that beatiful photo for the rest of your life.
