I've been watching, reading and browsing. And being a forum, discussions are natural. Obviously browsing as a guest makes you feel like you're "locked-out" from the conversations. So I had to make this account to provide some of my opinions.
I was a user on OTC, but I ain't telling my name. Don't want anyone having prejudice.
Welcome to the WBO. I don't think anyone would have prejudice against you from OTC. Behavior like that isn't tolerated here. Check out my guide to the WBO in my signature. But considering you were on OTC I don't think you will need it very much. Feel free to PM me if you need anything. Im always around.
Welcome to the WBO and I hope you have a good time!
Yeah, we all have our good times and bumpy roads.
Welcome to the WBO! It's always nice to see members from OtC return.
Welcome to the WBO! Have fun!
Ah, Kei. Long time no speak. I've been out of the whole beyblade scene for such a long time that I really questioned if getting back into it all would be worth it. Well, now that I'm here, there's no running back. The Zero-G line has some really hooky designs.
Is good ol' Brad still here, or?
Technically, no, haha. He stopped blading a couple years ago IIRC. Sold all of his stuff as well.
I was never on OtC when I was younger, but I must say it's a privilege to have someone around who used to be on it.
Anyways, welcome, have a good time.

I must ask why. The forum was somewhat ruff around the edges at times being new and all. It was a good starting point. I like how this is somewhat more professional. Your post makes me seem "senior", aha.
Ah, Brad is not here? I've been out of it too long. I've arrived late it seems. All the cool people have left.

Oh, so you know me? Now I'm wondering who you actually are lol. I'm not sure what you mean by "hooky designs", but ZERO-G certainly is worth getting back into the game for!
As others have said, he's left, but he's still around sometimes. After he got offered a job at MEGA BRANDS a few years back, he transferred his position/responsibilities on the site to the rest of the Committee.

I don't think serious beybladers were
ever cool, but I wouldn't say things haven't been... Diluted, even in my comparatively limited time in the community. Both good and bad, things are more professionally done now, seeing as everyone in charge is older now, and know better than back in the day. Though, I guess sometimes it feels a lot of the 'fun' isn't there, at the same time, if that sort of thing resulted in you not being willing to reveal your name, then maybe it's for the best? Still, a couple of people who spent most of the era flaming OtC are here and have absolutely no trouble, heh. I think everyone understands that everyone is more mature now, and people change with time, and that things were different then.
But yeah everyone gets excited when someone from the 'olden days' pops up again so enjoy it.

I don't know you personally. But I've been around to remember your posts too. You stick out with that blue going on too. Hooky designs means the designs have me hooked. Still gackt-crazy eh?
Odd position I find myself in. Some parts of me take the sense of superiority, since I have been "there since the start". But I'm new to this site, which apparently is much different that OtC. I can say then "New to the site, not to the community"? Even that is not right, since there are alot of members that were not originals.

I can't deny my role in some of the original flamings XD

Things have changed, people have changed, this site has changed. But you know, some characters never change. Some attitudes are still the same. We can try as hard as we want to change, but old habits are hard to kill.
Salutations!
