    It's probably better to ask around on IRC and servers and call into a few clan channels on irc to look for a clan, find one with members you like and get on well with or it's no fun. Oh and I wouldn't bother posting threads here asking for clans because they don't seem to get much in the way of positive response, and you're better off with people you know a little bit beforehand anyway.

    Well most people wouldnt know where to look on IRC for the clans and this is where the base of the Irish CS community is based. And if they get spammed why cant Mills just delete the guy who spammed post. And obviously he doesnt know anyone he could join a clan with otherwise he wouldnt need to ask on the boards.

    PHB, he's asked about it before, Rope gave him our details, several other clans gave him their contact details...if he wanted to get in touch outside of boards, he could have done. Mills probably saw that, and acted accordingly. Fair enough imho.

    I'm not about to start removing all the spam from every thread of that kind, it'd take all day for one, and I try not to remove/edit anyone's posts unless absolutely necessary, I wouldn't like it done to me. As I'm sure you've noticed yourself PHB, threads started looking for clans tend to attract at least half spam postings, and if the person is new to the scene, which is what I'd assume if they're asking for clans on boards, having their first topic replied to with a load of rubbish, some of it abusive, isn't going to encourage them to come back in a hurry, so I think it'd be better for everyone if we had less of it, because of what it leads to.

    This is true, I was considering putting a quick guide to getting on IRC with the rest of us in the forum announcement, but I don't want to take down the server list I have up, and it could get messy with both of em there, I'll see about that one.
