Guess I'm not as late as I thought! I just assumed that because I haven't exactly been active in the past months.

I was playing with one of my Beylaunchers and held it in a way that reminded me of this old avatar of Kai-V's:

Blown.

Haha I never looked at it that close to tell that.

Kai-V is a national treasure

I like to think. A lot.

I believe I must have written about that in my The Cover's Book thread though, hah.

So are the featured new faces going to be updated eventually? It still shows ones from like September 2014 which is about a year ago and I think it would look better if it showed some more recent faces that have been distributed.

Right now it would just be filled with the Amethyst face that all the mentors got .

We should probably just get rid of it, it's completely manual work.

So someone has to go in and update it everytime someone gets a new face?

Yes. Which is obviously not gonna happen.

I didn't think it was really meant to be for every single face tbh, but more of a spot for getting a face for a big accomplishment such as all the Amethyst faces that were given out and such like that. Honestly I thought it was an alright feature, but looking at it now you generally notice when a more active member gets a new face for some big accomplishment.

I dont know, I feel like deleting it wouldn't do any harm, and IMO it would look better gone than super outdated.

Even though it sucks that it isn't automated, I think it is still valuable to have something promoting Faces on the index of the site. Maybe it doesn't have to be that, though.

I would do something like a "Walk of Faces" (yes, pun); some sort of diagram (e.g. a vertical treasure map) which would detail and advertise the order in which a typical member might earn faces (Passport > Medals > Gem,
Contests > Boosters, etc.). An incentive, as it is.

The Faces system has gotten way huger (and more popular) than I ever could have expected, and definitely it's not immediately obvious what they are nor how they work. We'll keep it in mind.

When I joined the WBO (only 6 months ago), I immediately became curious as to what faces were all about. I figured it out pretty quickly as soon as I started clicking on them. At that point, I HAD TO HAVE ONE!!! XD..... it took a while.

Yeah me too. We are looking pretty empty so far. Haha. We are relatively new though. Do you get a face everytime you donate at least $10? Or just the first time? I am gonna donate again pretty soon when I catch up a bit money wise (got a good deal on some stadiums and spent all my money for the week, oops) and was just wondering. It's definitely a great motivater to donate for us people with the sad looking face collection

I donated $30 and got 3 boosters
On that note, it would be cool to see some more boosters released periodically as an "incentive" to donate. I plan to donate quite frequently anyway(not just for boosters)

And my face collection will be looking a little better soon now that all of my states results have been sent in. I think I have 3 faces+ 8 or 9 credits in the bank

Also, congrats on Amethyst! That's a face collection in itself. Hopefully I'll earn one eventually

Thanks. Yeah, we all spend a lot of money on beyblade. Whenever we make big purchases, we should just get one less bey and chip in to the organization that actually makes us want to play. I think that is what I am going to do from now on. If we all tried to do that, then this organization would be even bigger and better and there would be even more bladers and events

Yeah, I was going to order bb96, super deck set, but I decided that it was worth more to donate to the WBO instead. Even for those like you, in inactive areas, donations will only help the WBO to spread farther and do more. It's really beneficial to us all.

On the topic of faces, can something be done about faces showing up as rows of 4 instead of 5 on mobile?

Honestly, we need to redo the mobile theme. That's something we're looking at.

I was always under the assumption that we didn't need a mobile layout because the current one was good enough lol

Please don't, it's perfect enough. I've used the mobile here for 3 years without issue.

lol, "perfect enough" is a bit generous. it's functional but obviously not optimal.
