    So there have been a few people here that have been looking for people to play with recently. I would like permission to start a thread where Clans can make a post an advertisement about their clans, and hopefully all those players that are looking for guys to play with can find a clan that is best for them. I realise there is already a thread that deals in part with this , but it is bascially just links to clan sites and the clan section of the thread is a very minor one. I would like a dedicated thread where clans can make full size post :) .

    Cheers
    Chris

    well since the first infantry Batallion wwb site has changed I may as well plug our new url here. Its now www.1st-ib.co.uk

    Our old web hoster was looking for mad money for our old site so hosting.365 did it for us at a fraction of the cost, as a result we had to use this new domain name but its the same site.

    We are recruting BF2 and 2142 players and looking to play COD 4 when it comes out. We are mostly Irish but have a few Europeans in ther also.

    This kinda exists already in a sticky :

    Clan Applications/Mods and Maps/Console Commands


    What you do is PM one of us what an update and well we update the thread... :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,969 ✭✭✭christophicus


    Yeah as I said I saw that already, but I don't really think it is sufficiant. It is basically one small post with links to clan sites, within a thread that has much more info in it. I think it would be best to have a thread specifically for clans ( hopefully it could be stickied) . The way the clans are advertised in the current thread is not great , just one or two lines as opposed to our recruit post which is as follows.
    "When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality."

    bitrecruit.jpg

    We are a mature community mainly focused on BF2 (Battlefield 2), BF2142 (Battlefield 2142, and AA (Americas Army). We share a this our clan not this is my clan mentality. We believe that every one should contribute in everything from voting members in, making hot topics, all with the hopes of making the clan better . We are friendly, motivated group of individuals that work on the emphasis of having fun.

    We rely heavily on teamwork, using player's natural strengths to contribute to the team goal. Flags are priority, points come naturally ;)

    - As a social yet competitive clan, we like solid stats, but good teamwork and communications skills are more important :) We have no problem helping you grow.
    - You don't need to be plugged in 24/7 We have a few casual gamers in our roster. We ask you at least stop by the site or on Vent to stay current.

    Well, how often would it need to be updated?

    Are people going to read through 20+ pages of "Can I join/ I play under this name" etc to find a post from a clan?


    I think if clans want to recruit like Ponster said, they can pm one of the mods and get the sticky updated.
    If a clan ceases recruiting, they can ask that their details be removed.

    This is why I proposed a clans forum once upon a time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,969 ✭✭✭christophicus


    No I would suggest that people looking to join should not be allowed to post in the thread at all , instead they should PM whoever made the post for the clan instead.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,696 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    Lot of extra work there, there'd be quite a lot of clean up work to be done.

    And if that's all you want, then what's wrong with putting it in the current sticky?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,969 ✭✭✭christophicus


    You really think there would be that many people posting there? If it is stated at the top that there is to be only clans posting adds for their clan then I doubt too many people would be posting in the thread. If it does prove to be alot of work ( which I extreamely doubt it will be ) then I would have no problem being in charge of keeping it clean and sorted if you would wish to bestow that kind of power upon me :P .


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,912 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    The whole reason that the clan thread is stuck in there with the other posts is because we at one stage had way too many stickies so some had to be bunched together.
    From what I can remember we've had 3 people posting about clans in 6 months which explains why the clan post is grouped with other posts.

    How about you post your 'recruit post' and we link to it from your entry in the current clan sticky ?

    Because I want to have the full post that I have posted rather then just a link to our site.


    OK if you guys are adament about not having a stickey then I guess you can do that Ponstar. Although it would be great if you could post a link both to the thread I will make now and to our site. Thanks for listening guys - Chris.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,969 ✭✭✭christophicus


    Thanks for that man , i am sorry if I pissed any of you guys off, just thought it would be a good idea. I didn't mean to be an asshole or anything.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,912 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    Don't worry about it, you didn't piss anyone off.

    I guess this forum isn't used to so much traffic :p

    Seconded.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,696 Mod ✭✭✭✭Silverfish


    There was one, once.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,609 ✭✭✭Lord Nikon


    How about about just an Ireland Clan, would get more members that way.

    Ah, there was a boards.ie clan, back in the day, a long long time ago, when Desert Combat was around. If you do get enough people (more than 10), sometimes the Admins will give you a private forum (you must suck really well, though, so I'm told:eek::D:rolleyes:).

    Note: some f**ker has since deleted the Private Forum:mad: I blames a clean-up.
