To our cherished community, both familiar faces and new adventurers, a heartfelt welcome back to myBTBdb!
It's been quite a journey since myBTBdb first opened its digital doors in 2010. Over the years, the world of Bad Taste Bears has certainly seen its share of changes. We've witnessed companies like Oddco and Nemesis Now emerge and eventually conclude their runs, and excitingly, some dedicated collectors (including proud members of our very own moderation team!) even collaborated directly with Pete Underhill himself to bring new bears to life. Through all these shifts, the collecting landscape has continuously evolved, and myBTBdb has stood as a steadfast hub for enthusiasts like you.
Today, we're thrilled to announce the grand relaunch of myBTBdb! We've poured our passion into modernizing the site, ensuring it remains the ultimate resource and community space for Bad Taste Bear collectors worldwide.
While we've taken every precaution to ensure a smooth transition and preserve all your valuable data, with a project of this scale, there might be one or two small hiccups. If you notice anything amiss, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team – your patience and feedback are invaluable as we fine-tune everything.
You'll discover a host of exciting improvements designed to enhance your collecting experience:
- Brand New Medal System: Earn unique, custom-designed medals for your achievements, from growing your collection to engaging with the community!
- Sleeker, More Intuitive Design: Enjoy a fresh, modern look and feel that makes navigating the site a breeze.
- Enhanced Collection Management: Track your bears with greater detail and discover new ways to connect with fellow collectors.
- Sophisticated Upload System: Easily add and manage your bear photos and collection images with our improved upload tools.
- Integrity-Focused Ownership Verification: A robust system designed to help verify the authenticity of your cherished bears.
- Behind-the-Scenes Enhancements: Experience a faster, more secure, and overall smoother browsing experience thanks to numerous under-the-hood improvements.
We invite you to explore the new myBTBdb, update your collections, rate some bears, vote on polls, upload your pics, connect with old friends, and make new ones. Your passion for Bad Taste Bears is what makes this community thrive, and we can't wait to see what you achieve on the revitalized site.
Happy Collecting!
Rob & the rest of the myBTBdb Team
