EDIT: It doesn't link you to the right sites. When clicking my Instagram "haiderthehider" it takes me to www.worldbeyblade.org/haiderthehider

I seriously think the format would be great for news and developments; video links to tournaments.

I think this revives the question of "Should the WBO have a front page for news?"

You see, the WBO used to have an affiliate known as Beyblade Spirit, or BBSpirit. BBS was owned by Kai-V for a while, but it's front page was for news, and Kai-V usually did a pretty good job keeping it updated until around the time Metal Fight Beyblade: Baku began to air. Other than that, the site was mostly used for character bios, episode descriptions, screenshots, and manga scans (There used to be more, even a forum at one point!)

Beyblade Spirit went offline a few years ago, but when it did there was a lot of discussion on whether or not the WBO should have a news page that you have to go through to get to the forums.

If we had a Tumblr, I can see it working kind of like that. As funny as it sounds, I was actually talking with Kai-V earlier today about whether or not there were any old html files of Beyblade Spirit laying around (I wanted to make some slight edits and use the old BBSpirit theme as a Tumblr theme)

Perhaps we could make a BBSpirit Tumblr, for the sake of nostalgia, and set the URL as news.worldbeyblade.org. I'm all for the idea.

EDIT: I'm tired, I forgot some details. We could just do that as a page on the site anyway, it's super simple to do. Reason why it would be neat to do on Tumblr is for the reasons you stated. It would be super convenient, as all news would also appear in your Tumblr feed in case you haven't checked it in a while, but also because Beyblade needs to expand it's presence a bit on the platform.

PS - Kai-V, I would really like those html files if they do, in fact, exist.
