We need to spread the word in a not so nerdy way

alright peeps, lets face it coming from a 7th graders point of view.... we are a bunch of nerds (or that's what people see us as) at school if you say you like Beyblade...... u get jumped... hey buts that's just my school but I know for a fact people think anyone who is over 8 and likes Beyblade is a weirdo and a nerd, that's preventing us from getting a bigger amount of people as members and changing how people think about us..... we need to change this (mainly because the kids at my school think Takara Tomy riped of Beyblade from Hasbro and they know nothing about it. you are lucky you guys have a few members from middle school here hehe cuz i got ideas (ik last time i had an idea i nearly died but this time it's a good one) we need to change things a little and I know we just have a whole remodel of the website but dats wut i mean...... we need a social media account for stuff here are my recommendations of things that will help us grow"

the reason i made this post is because I see way too many people at my school and other schools bullying people who like Beyblade and stuff (and this isn't one of those "ignore them things" its offensive because it's ANNOYING the other reason is I see so many posts talking about being lonely and battling with ur brother in Arizona (u know who I'm talking to if u see dis) that's a huge reason we all hate being like.... dang guess imma go battle with the wall

and this will also help us look cool... what website doesn't have a snapchat page... EVEN BURGER KING AS A SNAPCHAT AND AN APP

Dang, ya caught me.
hehe dang right i did
That's a lot of stuff and I wouldn't agree with the nerd aspect, i'm not one and people dont identify me as suchbit aside from that you do seem zealous about blades and that good but this website is mostly full of adult volunteers who have lives outside of beyblade , I myself have a family? If you and the younger members would like to to this i'd suggest speaking to the mods or directly to Hasbro themselves with your ideas

Fairs, I mean u do have a point there. But it really depends cos whereas u might think all of us are of a single personality (apparently “nerdy”), that’s really not the case. I mean I can tell u I got way too many different things mixed into one being and Beyblade is still my hobby alongside and no one seems to mind that knows of it. My other hobbies include; football, rugby, tennis, basketball (not any good tho), rounders, baseball, table tennis, pool/snooker, reading books etc and I dress in what people call “roadman” attire lol. While u have a fair point about people looking down on certain hobbies, when you get older you tend not to care what people think. As long as u got real mates, they might have a laugh once in a while using ur hobby against u but are generally accepting of who u are.

You make it seem like being "nerdy" is a bad thing. Not everyone who plays it will be labelled as a nerd.
I don't agree with some parts in your post but one thing's true - WBO needs better and more merchandise.

u guys aren't getting the point -Tired

While your idea is good, you're execution is just plain immature, I'm not sure I follow your 'recommendations'

(nothing wrong with being an adult on here u guys run the website and keep it safe) BUUUUUT lets be real are you gonna go up to a guy in Toronto or in new york who just got back from work and gonna ask him HEY WANNA JOIN THE WBO ....... uuhh no


beyblade attracts the younger audience the younger audience is the one being picked on at school and all that stuff I'm in 7th grade if you tell someone u like Beyblade they will disown u that goes for just liking how they look (and if u say just ignore them or don't care what they say I will screeeeam)  I'm trying to help

Ok, don't just go ignoring the contributions adults have made. People like Kai-V are the reason this site even exists. And a lot of the things you mentioned would make us be taken even less seriously. Not to be a bully or anything, but I would prefer the professionalism this site already has.
actually yes I do ask people but the reason people may not join is mostly because they're lazy and see it as hassle, there are lots of people youtubers included who are not part of wbo but still very active in beyblade, but to be honest alot of your reasoning is subjective and really just assumptions.

also  --"let's face we all know if people think we are nerds.... you wouldn't go on a date and say one of the hobbies i love is beyblading.... if u do.... don't do that" 

NOT TRUE if you carry yourself well and have confidence you can easily do so

to be honest It really sounds like you want a revamp for wbo that more than likely won't happen,

"official snapchat page
official facebook page (idk if we have one)
official twitter page (i also dk if we have one)
better merch like hats (snapbacks not baseball caps) and wristbands
a flyer day would be nice (so if you don't have any near bye beybladers around we could come up with flyer ideas and print them out can u cant staple them on walls n stuff
a bey club at school (but don't make it seem nerdy plz T~T)
a discord channel
a better communication system.... like a live chat or a better friending and messaging system
not so strict rules... you shouldn't get in trouble if you post a joke that someone will laugh at like....... idk as long as its not offensive it should be aloud.
a motto and mascot
fundraisers LOTS OF FUNDRAISERS those hats won't pay themselves...
meet and greets
AN APP
Teams like you could have a team that designs beys or a team that creates merch ideas
don't be so strict on kids n stuff (not saying u guys are ultra strict) Beyblade is meant for fun it has to be fun
beyblade lessons like what not to do with a launcher and how to fix this problem kind of thing...
a better security system make sure they aren't any pervs lurking
if those fundraisers get us enough money GET TOGETHERS
team rivals and stuff
 that's all I can think of right now"

yeah I did,
all of this is too much and more than likely no really cares for all of this that much too and it needs money. I you're prepared to fund some of these ideas  e'g live webchat, APP then fine, as I said "If you and the younger members would like to to this i'd suggest speaking to the mods or directly to Hasbro themselves with your ideas" 


"Teams like you could have a team that designs beys or a team that creates merch ideas"
sorry to be harsh but nobody has time for that unless as I said "If you and the younger members would like to to this i'd suggest speaking to the mods or directly to Hasbro themselves with your ideas"

It really seems like you feel you are entitled to have all your wants met, like WBO has an obligation, unfortunately it doesn't and unfortunately you are the only one that can change your situation not strangers, ( I have great experience with the WHOLE SCHOOL (from year 7-9 bullying me) and friends bullying me at some point) but as long you are confident in your self and make the right decision you'll be fine and can turn it around, what I really think you should do is perhaps create a website with all of those qualities you mentioned and gather some like minded individuals, not scream at a WBO because you don't like the way its run, Its not helping.

Alot of those suggestions wbo has tried and have implemented, e.g a beymap, youtube lessons etc and the mods and us included at wbo do try our best to be hospitable to everyone but again "If you and the younger members would like to to this i'd suggest speaking to the mods or directly to Hasbro themselves with your ideas" 
I'm just gonna go ahead and close this wishlist. I don't think there's much I can add to this that others haven't already; we're a small team, we're entirely non-profit and there's a lot of stuff on there that is horribly unrealistic. There's even a tonne of stuff we have or do anyway; social media, merchandise, motto/mascot, fundraisers, teams etc. Stuff like an app won't happen because we have a perfectly working mobile site anyway, and I certainly don't think we're too strict either. Some of the events I've been to and discussions I've been in have been some of the most relaxed they could possibly be.

I do think you need to drop the "nerd" mentality as well. Alright, if people think we're nerds, we're nerds. Are you going to let it stop you if you enjoy Beyblade that much though? Ignore it or embrace it, don't let it bother you.

But yeah, this isn't going anywhere either. Closing this thread down.
