I was goign to post this into the Ideas & suggestions forum but it says, only things for NS Gameplay or something along those lines, so i'll just post it here insted.
Can't we have some kinda of forum/chat room where clans can organise matches? because IRC channels are all well and good for organise a game here and now, right on the spot, but when you've got a fairly small clan, playing games without at least a days warning simply isn't possible, so a forum where we could ask other CL's to book games in advance and things like that?

Generally PCWs are arranged by exchanging webby URLs and posting on each other's forums. Often clans have fancy-php "booking" pages if their web mastery is as good as their NS play. (Or in the case of some, better. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
Clan recruitment is probably enough. I suppose we could expand "LAN Parties" to cover "NS matches" instead.
Edit: I really should proof read.
I want good members that can code >_<
a forum for clan recruitment wouldn't be half bad I suppose
I'm banned there but for gods sake use it, don't freaking use forums for scheduling.... when you get 6, head over on mIRC and look for a challenger, generally there is always someone looking for a scrim.

Mind you, the state of NS clan play at the moment is rather poor and you're definately going to have to swallow your pride and play some of the better clans if you actually want a match.
But i suppose i'll just use IRC untill we get the forum, but untill then if anyone does want a CW don't be scared to PM me i don't bite (unless i run out of ammo) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
lol to the max man, I mean what a waste of time, when it's so much faster to just head on over to mIRC

I was mostly interested in it for clan discussions. But it might be nice for pre-scheduling. #findnsscrim goes pretty dry some days. It seems like its only one or two clans ever looking. And as much fun as it is scrimming DoM over and over again, it would be nice to have some variety. Maybe pre-scheduling on a forum would work out ok as a nice backup for IRC. That way you can post in the morning and have two or three scrims set out for the afternoon.

Really? If you have 6 on everynight you can easily get 3-4 scrimmages in one sitting without messing around with forums and messy scheduling.
I'm saying i've just started a new clan. And unless i tell me members, BE ON THIS TIME, they will rarely all be online at the same time.
Just remember lorn, we're not al top clanners with members that live in there computers so you can scrim any time of the day or night.
It's been pretty sparse lately. Often there's no one advertising for a scrim. But it's a slow time for ns, as well. I'm hoping b5 will spice things up a bit and get more clans back into regular scrims. I think we've probably played against the same 3 or 4 clans over and over for the past few weeks. Not counting those clans that only come out for their matches.

Umm....
All you have to do is focus on getting all of your members on at the same time, like say, 8 pm every night. Then just go on mIRC and either clans are looking to scrim or they aren't.
Trust me, there are generaly anywhere from 2-5 clans doing this at any given time, meaning you should never be scrimless. Even with the NS clan scene at a slowdown, I've yet seen us been unable to get a scrim after 10 min of searching.
Forums are horribly unorganized, and innefficent because if for some reason one clan is short one guy, now 11 other people's time has been wasted.
The fact is, mIRC requires less effort and less time to use than forums do.
But i suppose so, i'll tell me clan to get on at 8pm every night and we'll go hunt a scrim <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
