We'll run some cash tournaments after H3 is released.

As for affiliates... meh.

I would love to have any and all Halo related bloggers link us up (providing that they are good). I will be adding a blog to Halomega soon and will work on those relationships more at that time.

I'm not overly interested in affiliating with other forums.

There are several reasons for this that would just bore you if I got into them. The Halo community is a shadow of what it was a year or two ago. Remember, Halo 2 is kind of an old game now. H3 will doubtlessly be bringing in a TON of new folks though and the best place to catch their attention isn't other forums - mostly because I outrank almost all of them now for key generic halo query phrases.

What will be key is getting the folks that do land here to sign up, stay and become active members. We'll be doing that by providing anything they can get in any other forum and then some in terms of facilities, tournaments, and quality of experience.
