Who do you accept?
« on: September 01, 2005, 06:01:51 pm »
I run a large website that keeps track of clans, there members, and how good the clan is. It has not gone public yet.

I have been here (different account, go ahead and IP check if you want.. just don't tell anybody) for about 4 weeks and have loved the community.

You guys receive 4.5/5 stars, rated 2 on USWest.

I would like to point out a few problems, then ask some questions.

1. I noticed on your rules page you do not separate forum members from clan members.
2. Your battle.net channel never has more then 3 members talking at once.. And there are way to many idling bots, in my opinion.


Next, a few questions:

1. Are there any non-x86 users in your clan (Mac OS X, at the moment, I know its switching to x86)?
2. Is this strictly a development clan? Are there non-"techy" people in this clan?
3. Would you accept, based only on there posts, iago as a member?
4. Ergot?
5. Newby?
6. Ajan?
7. Ryan Marcus?
8. Blaze?

Thanks for all your time.. Your replies will either boost or lower your rating, not replying will keep it the same, but you could just reply with "No comment" so I do not keep checking...

Though I'm not a member, I can answer a few of those.
1: Possibly.
2: No, it's not only for programmers, though moust are.  Yes; Joe.
6: Who is Ajan?

Maybe you should look around the forums a bit more. Many of the questions should be answered, for example the memberlist and the development questions.

1. Bleh. The non-clan-members of the forums are subject to common sense. Maybe we should write rules...

The non-clan members of the forums are (for the most part) mature enough to realize when they would be doing something stupid that members / admins do not like. No rules to keep them in line are necessary as of yet...

(Plus, rules often create more problems than they solve.)

2. Blame iago. Blame me too. We take up about 50% of the channel!

Most of us have school / stuff to attend to in real life. So, we idle bots in the occasion that we will stop by once in a while, read the back chat, and contribute to the channel!
1. Uh, I'm not sure if anybody really likes using a Macintrash. :P I'm pretty sure Joe uses PPC (Ubuntu). Other than that, nobody I know of in the clan uses non-x86 boxes (including SPARC and whatnot...)

Does AMD64 / IA-64 / x86-64 count as x86? If not, a few members here more than likely use 64-bit PCs, so I guess they count as non-x86. :|

2. This clan is not a development clan! We did not want to come off like that. We're more of a brotherhood than we are a programming clan like vL or fe and such. I (and hopefully other members) feel the clan will live longer if members in it like each other a whole lot and candidacy isn't judged off of extremely good technical computer skills. If one of us can't program very well or has issues with a computer, we don't care at all. If they need help, they'll get help.

The problem with programming clans is that when they become inactive or they start dying, the group of people that want to join is often immensely smaller than the group of people wanting to join a dying clan based on friendship (since, oh say, a members' friend (who could be the most computer illiterate bastard on the planet) could join and be the member that saves the clan from death.) in my opinion.

3. iago as a member of x86? Based off his post count? No. We do not base membership off of posts. IF a member contributes a lot, they are well liked by the clan and would most likely make it in. So, in a sense, if you post good quality posts (quality > quantity) you are more likely to make it into the clan.
4. No. See above.
5. No. This kid sucks balls. I hope he rots in Hell! Err, wait....
6. Nope.
7. Nope.
8. Nope.

I hope that answers your questions. :P

He does not seem to be on.. I know the guy, I will tell him on Battle.net...

I think he met quality of posts, not post counts, like you said, but I will see him tomorrow.

Regardless of our appointed figurehead, I've always seen iago as our clan's fatherly figure.  To me, he's more of the founding father of x86 than just a member, even if he wasn't the literal founding father of the clan.

Yes. Without iago, x86 would not be anywhere near as succesful or big as it is now.

I also want to thank Trust, for without e1- imploding x86 would have never been started! :P :-*

I ask how these two sentences add up:

I run a large website.

It has not gone public yet.

Also, who are you to judge which clans are the best? 
I bet that x86 would not care if you rated them the lowest, thier values and brotherhood would still be #1 to the members.
Thats what counts.

AMEN BROTHA!

Just kidding.  But yeah, I agree, GameSnake.

While it's kind of neat to see what an external person thinks of our clan, I could really care less if they did or did not like it.  It doesn't really matter to me, it's just interesting to see the thoughts of others.

MACS DO NOT SUCK. :(

Okay heres a few answers:

Who is the leader of x86:
Me

What are the rules:
Rules?

Are we a programming clan:
Yes

Is Sidoh lame:
Of course

I hope that answers your questions.

But anyway, Newby answered the questions perfectly.  My question is more for the person who started this thread.  Is there really a site? Or is this a maneuver to find out what we think of you?  If that's the only reason, then you're a coward :P

And yes, if we're 2, who is 1?  I know the person who started this is reading this thread, so please answer.

Yes, there is really a site!

If I wanted to find out what you thought of me, and I wanted to do something like this, I would have done something much smarter,  like made a second account, posted for a while, and posted a what do you think of MEMBER thread...

Overdosed is number one, on useast. Although they are slowly going away. Also, clan sof is getting up there.

Speaking as me (myself, not clan_info), I would have felt completely comfortable posting a "Whats my problem?" or "Critique me!" thread, I just don't because I honestly do not care, and I won't until a large number of people start to hate me ;) (Which might be happing already, but I don't care because they have not told me)
