As our community has grown, Pasta and I have chatted and/or talked with numerous members and two topics seem to come up repeatedly:

VOTE IN THE POLL


1. People have stated they would be willing to contribute to the site for operational expenses

In response to this, we are looking into doing an annual fundraiser to help offset the expenses of running XboxOhio. Contributions would be on a voluntary basis and for whatever amount the contributor is comfortable with.


2. There is disappointment over the lack of more structured tournaments

Although we have done a few tourneys in the past, they were primarily for fun and participation was light.

What we are looking into doing is instituting a quarterly CoD2 tournament. It would be a battle royal of sorts, that will take place four times a year and will culminate in one hellashish finale (A fifth and final event) for the top 7 players from the previous Quarterly tournaments. The tournaments would have a one-time entrance fee (one small fee gets you in all tournaments), set times known well in advance, be structured and would result in prizes being distributed based on the level of participation (see Poll above).

More details will be forthcoming if interest is high.





Please review and vote accordingly. As always, we listen to our members and try to make XbO a community with many options as possible. In addition to voting, feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Pasta and Z

I'd pay for both, but if some people may have a problem with that I suggest Google AdSense maybe as a footer on the page. You wouldn't have to have them all the time, just when it was time to raise money. Then we could all go clicking crazy! :D

Yea, I've thought about google ad sense but however we wouldn't be able to just click it till our hands go numb. Google will ban your AdSense account if they find the same ip address clicking repeatedly. We'd need to be legit.

At a minimum, we could add a Google search bar. I believe those pay out as well and I would use it.

Yea, you can put a google search bar, and then the results appear with ads and we would get paid if the ads are clicked.

I'd be willing to donate some space and bandwidth for this from my account at another provider. Pasta, if you are interested, please let me know and I can give you more information on what's available.
