If you are looking for a clan POST HERE.

[Cerda[75thR]]

This was the standard for all those looking to get their name out there to be recruited. Phrag was a smart guy for doing this so I figure this should be stickied here for the same reason it was stickied at TotalBF2.com. Now I know the info is generally for BF2, but we can edit it later when the demo is out. So admins, if you would be so kind as to hook this up here as well... It'd be great.

THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE "LOOKING FOR CLAN" THREAD. PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE POSTING.

After looking over this forum, I see a lot of people looking for clans by just starting a thread and getting flooded with replies from every clan that is currently logged in. Instead of doing this yet again lets try something a little different. I would like to make this thread for EVERYONE who is looking for a clan. Here is what you do:

If you are a player looking for a clan, please post a reply in this thread including information like what I have listed below.

Why would you be good in a clan: No ego, listens and follows well, plays both defense and offense, creative problem solver.

If you are a clan that is recruiting or just like what you see in a post and want to give a guy a shot, please DO NOT POST IN HERE. Instead, send the player you are interested in a PM with your clan information (server IP(s), website, description). This will keep the thread on topic, easy to use and a reasonable length. Thank you for your consideration and participation. :)

Great idea and GREAT post Cerda. I wanted to get this up ASAP so there'd be no further interruptions to the thread.

Here's a non-BF2 example template. It's fairly general and not game specific. Below the example form is the exact code to duplicate the format of the application. Copy the code, paste it in your reply, and fill out the information in each section as seen in the example. If you are uncomfortable providing particular information then leave blank. The more information you provide, the higher the chances of finding a squad that best suits you.

=NOTE= Please try to keep the form formatted how it is in the code. Keeping a consistent format will make reading and processing the information much quicker.
