Beywiki Relaunches as the World Beyblade Organization - Bey Brad - Dec. 04, 2008
Well, it was significantly delayed, but here it is. I hope it was worth the wait for you all. Here is the official press release:
Since October of 2007, Beywiki has been uniting Beybladers all over the world. Founded by Bey Brad as an answer to the lack of concrete support in the Beyblade community, Beyblade quickly rocketed away from its humble origins to attain its status as the most popular Beyblade website in the world.
If one thing has been learned from the Beywiki project, it is that Beyblade has proven to be remarkably resolute all over the world. In many parts of the world where Beyblade has not been sold in many years, there are still many Bladers yearning for battle.
With Metal Fight Beyblade having launched in Japan, Beyblade has been given a second chance. However, Takara-Tomy has no plans to begin development abroad until 2010. While the WBBA -- the World Beyblade Association -- sanctions Beyblade play in Japan, there is no truly international governing body for Beyblade competition.
That is why, effective immediately, Beywiki is being relaunched as the World Beyblade Organization (WBO). The goal of the WBO is simple -- to be a sanctioning body for Beyblade, and an organization dedicated to the promotion of Beyblade, all over the world.
The WBO functions on the Elo ranking system, employed by Chess, Go, and many competitive games and hobbies all over the world. When Bladers battle in real life, the results are reported by the loser on the WBO website. The rankings are then adjusted accordingly. The goal is to provide a comprehensive ranking system for Beyblade. By winning many battles, Bladers will climb to the top and earn the title of the best Blader in the world.
The Beywiki project is not being abandoned. The Beywiki will continue as a side-project of the WBO. However, the focus of the website has shifted from the Beywiki itself to the community that has been formed.
The WBO is reaching out to Bladers in every part of the world, Bladers who speak every language. We have begun employing translators to reach out to Bladers who cannot speak English, so you can look forward to more international content as the WBO grows.
So, head to http://worldbeyblade.org and register today, and begin climbing the ranks of the WBO!
For anyone that can speak other languages, I would appreciate if you could translate this release into whatever language you speak (Turkish and Japanese are top priorities for me right now). Thank you!
As time goes on, you will see more and more information becoming available about all of this.
Well ... comment away.

Great job Beybrad ^^.
I like the new stuff to.
RE: Beywiki Relaunches as the World Beyblade Organization - Pikachao - Dec. 04, 2008
Woah, this is a pretty big change lol! First impressions are good, but I'm also thinking that the community will grow way fast, so does that mean all the members that joined when it was still beywiki or have been around since OtC times will get lost in the sea of new members?
This being said, this gives me a solid reason to get a ton of MFB for christmas. =D
RE: Beywiki Relaunches as the World Beyblade Organization - Sega - Dec. 04, 2008
Love the new look site
But I'd say we will see a spurt of members once the Anime starts up, for the meantime the Site is full of the long-term fans from the old era, but I cant really see the a flood of new members coming in for a while now to be honest.

Pretty sure BeyUK had/have one that most people put their pins on to. Thinking about it, once the anime is released and the board floods with people then that map will be way too crowded lol
RE: Beywiki Relaunches as the World Beyblade Organization - The Shredder - Dec. 04, 2008

RE: Beywiki Relaunches as the World Beyblade Organization - BeyUK-Espio - Dec. 04, 2008
We don't have a map on BeyUK. Not sure why, it just never appealed to me.
RE: Beywiki Relaunches as the World Beyblade Organization - The Shredder - Dec. 04, 2008

Maybe it was a different site. I definitely saw one linked here on beywiki at one point.
