There are a lot of things I want to do with the WBO, and like most things in the world, they cost money. I'd love to be able to offer WBO supply kits and prizes to people organizing events, and I'd love to be able to do more giveaways ... but I can't do it out of my own pocket.

I've been lately thinking of placing advertisements on the site. It wouldn't be anything incredibly obtrusive; maybe a banner ad for a Beyblade store at the top of the page and some Google ads underneath the first post on each page.

If it was up to me, I'd love for all of the things I want to do to be doable via my own money and donations, but it isn't. I hate the idea of having ads on this site but if that's what it takes to do what we need to do here, then that's what will be done.

Don't forget you can donate: http://worldbeyblade.org/thread-2368.html

Thanks for reading and I appreciate your input.

Oh dear. Still, as you said, I guess it's for the good of the WBO and pretty much inevitable if we are to expand.

Good luck with finding some adds that match the colour scheme.......=_=

Ads would be either designed by me or google text ads.

Ah well that's better at least. I hate it when you get really random stupidly coloured ads that totally destroy the feel of the site. Or the ones that talk. They kill me inside. Oh God - please don't make them talk. X_X
Im fine with it. I don't think most will have a problem with it.
I don't have much of a problem with it. It could help the site or it could hurt it. It all comes down to what you choose and how we would use them. I personally might benefit from it though.
I'm fine with seeing ads on the site, as long as it's tasteful (and obviously it will be). All of the proposed benefits outweigh any downsides.
Yeah, it'd be fine. Whatever it takes to help the WBO.
Just make sure that you host ads from people you directly know and communicate.
The last thing you want is dating ads or anything that could be annoying.
go for it, i never even notice ads on forums or websites anyway
Oh God

That's, like, the last thing I want...

If it's what we have to do, it's what we have to do, I guess.
Not the first thing I'd like to see on wbo, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
sort of inevitable i guess >_>
They are necessary to help move the WBO forward in what it wishes to accomplish, so I suppose there is no chance of avoiding it.
So if and when the WBO moves forward and becomes a super rich recognised organizarion, can we get rid of them then? Uncertain
you should put up ads

LOL

Guys, if you don't want ads on the site, you can donate so I can fund projects. Otherwise ....
I'll donate once I get my own debit card. Uncertain
Debit Cards don't work through Pay Pal. I'm still trying to find out how I can donate.
