			UPSB struggled harder in 2011 than in 2009. With only Baaron, VicGotGame and Eriror passing of the 6 entrants, with Baaron eliminated in Round 2 and the remaining two in Round 3. VicGotGame's round 1 combo was surprisingly popular, and became one of the most widely copied combos from UPSB spinners in later years.

	Tasked with creating the next iteration of V5 after the hack on V4, Zkhan had to grapple with his lack of knowledge in putting up a website. With the help of [[Fang]] and donations, XenForo and plugins ~~was~~ bought and built into UPSB V5, but due to issues with learning how to do it, it took 3 months to accomplish. Nonetheless, UPSB V5 went live for registration on 20th December 2014.

	By 2016 things had begun to run out of steam. The [[Pen Spinning World Cup]] that would normally be held that year was cancelled, and the activity of the site was severely diminished. Lax moderation policies had negatively impacted the retention of new users and many old content creators had quit the site. By 2017 Zkhan cancelled the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2017]], resulting in the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament#PenDolSa World Tournament 2017\|PenDolSa World Tournament 2017]] moving to take the place of UPSB's world tournaments. The result was disastrous for the community, with few competitors and questionable management. After the fallout of the replacement, Zkhan conceded and held the official Pen Spinning World Tournament in the second half of 2017 in the end.		By 2016 things had begun to run out of steam.

	UPSB first took part in a world tournament in 2009, as the [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2007]] finished before UPSB V3 was released. UCPSB was represented in that tournament instead. Historically UPSB did not have much success in world tournament events, though this changed in 2017 when [[i.suk]] made it to the semi-finals and later won in 2019.

	Paradoxically, there was never a 'UPSB V1' forum, with the original [[Pentix]] forum often being mistakenly referred to as UPSB V1. To add even more confusion, when Kam first started working on UPSB on the 7th October 2003, the address directory was /UPSB2/. This was given to prevent people guessing the URL to the forum, and not an indicator of the forum's version number. After release, the /UPSB2/ directory was kept and never changed to /UPSB/, adding to the confusion.

	Opened to the public on the 11th January 2004. In 2005 a collaboration was held between [[PDS]] and UPSB with an edit from [[SuperHandz\|SuperHandz's]] [[De'vo Vom Schattenreich\|De'vo]] named 'UPSB + Pendolsa Collaboration Video', split into two parts. The collaboration featured early spinners such as [[Zombo]], [[nhk_9]] and [[Tohlz]]. Important contributions from the V2 forum were the Research Department, Naming Committee and the [[UPSB Wiki]]. The former two did not have much impact at the time, but the UPSB wiki had great impact as a reference for correct terminology to the general public. The wiki was edited and maintained by members of the Research Department and Naming Committee.		[[File:upsbv2.jpg\|thumb\|200px\|UPSB V2 Forums]]Opened to the public on the 11th January 2004.
