| If you saw my latest update on the academy, then I don't have to repeat what happened. I worked on it enough for it to function properly. Although I know that it can be a whole lot better with its presentation and gimmicks, I am comfortable with hanging the towel for now and taking a break. I will not talk about how to use the navbar to its full functionality and elaborate on what it means to be a WDA member (as in how to make the most out of this place.) 1) Navbar No Longer Valid - Spoiler:
You have a well organized menu that is multi-function due to its nature of having drop-down lists. I bunched up things and categorized them. The getting-used to is kinda like converting from Windows 7 to Windows 8, except not without the complete overhaul. *You have the HOME button and the main banner which both will return you to the main index. *You also have Guest menu which is self-explanatory. It has the Starter Guide, FAQ, Chat tutorial, a link for them to post their intro, and the registration button. *Then we look over at the Member's menu which will allow you to check all of the posts that you haven't seen since your last login, check the announcements for any important news, view the member list (mostly for the mod use,) and you can chill out at the Hang-Out portal ( which has the main chat and DN.) *Adjacent to the Member's menu is the Profile menu, which is basically a user control panel. *Next to that is the Dueling menu. This is mainly for mods to have quick links to the award table, achievements, and tier sheet. *Take a few steps over and you have the Support menu. This is basically the Support section in a drop down list. Look for anything in our support section, perhaps ask a question or two, post some suggestions on how to make this place better, and an affiliation request for other sites who wish to affiliate with us. *The Current Events menu will constantly be changing to stay up-to-date with the activities we have running here. This is for everyone to look at and are easy links to get to where you need to go. *Finally we have the Learn More Games menu which are quick links to our Teach articles for Pokemon Showdown, LoL, and CFV.
2) The Experience What many non-regulars misunderstand about WDA is that they either expect a traditional duel academy with fundamental standards. As we have noticed, we are by no means a traditional duel academy nor do we have fundamental standards. If anything about our structures, we duel when it is most convenient for us. Most of us, whether you like it or not, are casual duelists. The minority of us are truly experienced and are competitive duelists who can contend in larger scaled events. As we learned, it is okay for us to be like this and it is okay for us to not duel as much as other places. Why is that? It is better to look at WDA as a community of people who gather together to be comfortable within our niche setting. By that, I mean be happy being nerds together. We're starting to introduce non-YGO stuff because YGO just simply isn't our only, single interest. Why not express our interests with each other? Why not play and discuss our favorite games and shows together? Disabling and suppressing these would only contradict who we are as a community. Therefore, we stick around to make the most out of what we have. If you dislike being apart of a community, then perhaps WDA (or pretty much any other place) is not right for you. We will do our thing, you can do yours. Sticking around together in this flexible setting has allowed us to stay alive and prosper (whether you agree to disagree on this, it is true.) Furthermore, what I suggest that you, guests, non-regulars, regulars, and mods, is to give WDA a chance. We do host innovative and exciting events, present many challenges for you as a duelist, have many discussions on many different topics and respond to your issues very quickly. If you like to duel, don't be afraid to use our Hang-Out to multi-task DN and WDA. That's why we have it. If anyone has inputs on how to make the most out of WDA, you are free to post here.

| Ah, Unknown, but are we talking about the world of Earth, or the world to mean a person, persons, or even humanity itself, and the entirety of their perception? Does the 'World' in our name limit our horizons, or does it refer to the humanity's experience of life and all it holds within?
Unknown, you bes needing to bes thinkings. | |

The problem I had with that is that the drop down lists went completely under the advertisements, making them unusable. Now there are two alternatives to this. The first is to find technical help with the coding of the navbar to have a higher priority (which I haven't a clue how to do.) The second alternative is to have the navbar hover at the top of the screen (which I haven't a clue how to do yet.) This was the best I could do yesterday without pulling out my hair from stress from my lack of knowledge in web programming. I'm kinda learning as I go. So lets call this navbar Version 2.0 and have version 2.1 have one of the two alternatives.
