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.

and by slacker i meant slacker in the sense of lazy. I need the descriptions on the videos we're asking for in the form to be nice and descriptive.

As for announcements... I'll look into that again. I already have Rafael assigned to make some tweaks to the default skin (there are a few things I really just don't like about it) so we'll look at announcements in the near future as well.

Affiliation would greatly help us bring in more members seeing now were in a downfall, I don't see why Affiliation would be a bad thing.

Regarding Merks post, we should definantly show more announcements, so new members can see whats going on, etc.

It's all about link equity. I know that's not going to make any sense whatsoever to most of you, but trust me on that one.

If you want to learn more about the why's and wherefores behind it, send me an IM sometime and I will get into a little more detail for you.

Remember, I've been covering the SEO scene for almost 8 years now... but I can't be spewing all my cool little tricks in a public forum.

I have many ideas, but they are all crazy so nobody would want to hear them

Question: Who is RicaNeSe? I've never seen him before...

We need to make stuff more clear for new members. When i first joined the forum, i couldnt find anything. It took me like 3 days to find the vPlaza menu.

You're really being an ass. Please stop...

I think cash tournaments are a great idea. But dont worry guys, when Halo 3 comes out we'll get loads of new members

Kinda off topic, had to do it.

Anyways, I'm noticing a lot of members from Halownage are coming back here. Lol. I told the admins at that site very plainly- 'if you don't get mods that strictly enforce the rules against flaming and spamming, your going to lose your members'. And well, my point is being proven daily with their own members coming over here. :-)

I'm trying to see if Cipha would want to come back, he was one of the best mods, even though everyone called him a d-rider.

I personally, would love it if we could get members NOT from Halownage. I mean, the reason I came over here again, was because the community over there, was SO bad. The flaming was terrible, and noone does anything about it. Its going to ruin my idea if all them come over here, and ruin this site as well. :-/
