I plan on staying here for as long as it stays up, because not only is the WBO a place where everyone with a passion for Beyblade can share their passion, without judgment, this is also a place that can truly change and shape people. Since I have joined every day has been brighter for me, and that is something that is not easily obtained. And I know that the WBO has had its ups and it's downs but that is something that is expected. But, it doesn't make the WBO less of a site, or all of us less of a community. Because in the end, it's the members that truly influence this site.

As some of you may have noticed, I have been very inactive, sometimes not there at all, since September. I went to Japan several times this year, which caused me to lose track of new replies here and of Beyblade in general, and I started a new job and moved out into a new apartment, which still requires cleaning and unpacking time. However, on top of that, Beyblade Burst has caused me to care a lot less about Beyblade in general, and it honestly pains me to see the state of this message board and the community at the moment. It makes it seems like the dedicated work accomplished on this website in the last ten years was all for nothing. Because even if Beyblade interests me less, I never once wished to leave this forum in the poor state it is in, for the sake of the community... I really hope that, on December 4th 2017, we can celebrate more than the one-year anniversary of a catastrophy, somewhat. BeyPoints paralysed, Credits paralysed, core features paralysed, etc. Thank you to those who have stayed faithful despite all these issues.

The truth is, though, that fixing all those problems created by a very precocious layout renewal launch makes us rely on one person only, who understandably has a life to lead besides that, and has been working multiple hours almost for free... And even if we empathise, it makes us so helpless. There is no way we can fix this layout on our own, because it has now evolved to one using bypasses and a language that none of us understand anymore, whereas we could manage previously with the more regular MyBB layout. I knew that this upgrade would bring us a lot of trouble since I knew that there would be no one to teach us how to work with this new programming language afterwards. History repeats itself.


Anyway, to end this message on a brighter note: for whom, here, is the World Beyblade Organization very dear?

The thing is, with the limited time I have now, in particular, there is no way I can make any progress on anything considering all the obstacles. Therefore, I end up spending my time elsewhere.
