You don't want to make a clan.
Clans = hell. You're better off going solo.
Or at least, that's my opinion.

Well clans are a pain but here are some tips. your gonna have to have a bot (Not for useless spamming). The bot is for if someone wants to recruit you can make a custom command that tells them what they have to do to be recruited. instead of you saying it over and over and over again.
you need ranks.
you need a recruitment map
thats all the tips i got

What you need, is a good leader, a few good friends, and a few good tools, are a few good ways to get known, like a specialty clan, good in a certain kind of map.
Me and my friends tried a clan, but no site didn't help, and we didn't have a good leader either, which was our downfall. Chances of creating a succesful clan nowadays: 2%, about. I'm a hero, not a leader

Errr, yes clans suck. I mean, I love clans. First of all your clan has to be about something specific (Melee, map making, a specifc UMS game etc..) and yes you will need a good leader. At the start you will need to dedicate a lot of time to recruiting people who are good at whatever your clan is about (it will take a long time even to get a few member who are good).

When you do "ranks" don't make a load of different rankings. It gets annoying. What I think is best is to just have a Leader and Member rank.

As far as I know you have to be a real xASS HOLEx to have a clan. I am not saying that you are xASS HOLEx because you want a clan but I have seen xASS HOLESx in all clans(or I haven't talked to them enough). And you clan will most likely fail if you won't be xASS HOLEx enough. You will also need some real xASS HOLESx who will represent your clan. Otherwise xASS HOLESx from other clans will make your non-xASS HOLEx clan fail.

I'll be the first to speak of the pros of clans here. I've been in this clan fr years now and have a group of friends in it I'd trust with it. Clans are a good thing, and a great way to meet new people.
The first thing you need is an active leader(s) and a list of rules that are set in stone. You also have to remember that a successful clan doesn't appear overnight, it takes lots of work to get a clan on it's feet. You'll want to set up a message board to allow members to keep in touch with one another, and work on a site that has all the information for visitors.
Also I wouldn't have too many ranks at the beginning. Add them as your dedicated memberbase grows.
http://www.centraloutpost.com/ is a good site that has lots of resources for clans, you'll find a lot of information there

Me and my friend made a map making clan...
Just think of a word or something that describes your clan (or sounds cool
) and find a way to make it a letter or a few letters.
Also, I have found people do not like having to change their account every time they join a clan. So I made it optional, but most clans to not like that.
It is good to have a clan website, then you can say "Go to __Insert URL here__ to view our website."
Next find a user that has their computer on 24/7 and have them hold the bot. (For my clan it is me) Also, it would be good to have a bot with another user just incase one disconnects, floods, or someone has turned that computer off. (While I was visiting New York my brother turned my computer off so my clan's channel was empty for two weeks)
For the bot, add some scripts or commands for like a ".help" command.
If you do add a .help command, try making it so what it says is on as few lines as possable. It slows the bot, makes it so while it is saying that is not useable, and it disconnects faster if you have a lot of lines. (My bot each command has a max of 2 lines used)
Bots are good because if someone comes to your channel and nothing is there, they will most likely lose interest and wont come back. Also with different scripts and types of scripts, it allows you to organize your clan better. (If you need a bot, I suggest Stealthbot. [DL])
... Why the hell did blizzard make it so ONLY Wc3 can do Clan channels? Other games want clans too.

You have to offer something to the public. You need mad skills, a channel and make sure to advertise

Personally, I wouldn't start a clan right now.. especially a map making one. The last 3 related somehow to this site failed miserably. ( ]F[ [S] [L] ) It's a rough time for clans in general.
