100 Clans in 100 days! UPDATE

Re: 100 Clans in 100 days! UPDATE

I think that those who have to question why a company is giving away a service for "free," should not bother replying to this thread.

My team currently has a dedicated server that we run, pay for and maintain as a 24/7 Dedicated Wake enviroment, and to be honest we could greatly gain from this type of offer. Our current game server gets roughly 200,000 players monthly and we do everything possible to ensure that the community has a place they can play. There is a lot of pride in giving back to the community, and Team |TOC| understands that commitment. We've had our Dedicated Wake 24/7 up and running since Nov or Dec of 05 and although many of us don't play on the server often anymore (tired of wake!), we do ensure the bills are paid and the server is effectively administered.

I invite MyIS to come check us out at www.TeamTOC.net if they have some available time.

I truly and honestly commend MyIS on doing this!

Re: 100 Clans in 100 days! UPDATE

Ok it gets to me when someone tries to be honest and bring up a valid point and is accused of whining and not wanting to cooperate...

Nap I tried to PM you some advice from what I have learned in the Military and while getting my buisness degree but you PM'd me back you don't read PM's... so hear it is in public...

Napoleon,
I am taking this private because I don't think it does either of us any good to spin it around in public.
On my part I know I am very militaristic in the way I look at things but I also look at thing from the Corporate point of view. I was raised on military bases then did my time in the USMC and then off to the IT and marketing portions of the Corporate world.
Ok here is my outlook on things ( I offer them out of friendship and respect and a wanting to see your company succeed):
1. Never make requirements you don't intend to enforce, it sets a bad precident and causes confusion.
2. If your looking for an alternative make the requirement that the clans post a link to the sites on their main pages. You are more likely to gain traffic this way from their clan members and visitors to their sites out of curiosity and you can monitor it's compliance easily in a timely manner.
3. Never make requirements that are unatainable...Leaders of a large clan could never mandate all members register at multiple sites, many people still have an abhorance to registering to sites and giving up email addresses and could cause disapline ruptures within a clan stressing out the leadership and earning MIS bad will from clan leaders who previously supported you.
4. Never display the "We don't need you attitude" towards anyone. Marketing is a very strategic, phsycological field and to chase away any future customers by showing the attitude of superiority can be harmfull to ones image. Image and service is everything to the success of a company.
5. TBF2 forums in my humble opinions have been growing and becoming succesful because people are being driven away from PBF by these attitudes, you have a good thing going here that can blossom greatly if not poisoned.

I hope you realize I am one of TBF2's and MIS's greatest supporters and if I didn't care I would not have spoke up.

You have not even seen the application...Give us sometime and you will see the full program. We will be done soon and all the details will be clear. Thanks for your advise. We love this type of input.

Re: 100 Clans in 100 days! UPDATE

In the coming days MyInternetServices.com will be posting an application for clan sponsorships. We will be selecting 100 clans, giving them a 32 slot Ranked BattleField 2 server and website hosting. This sponsorship program will run a minimum of six months for each clan. After we receive 50 applications the MyInternetServices.com staff will start choosing a clan a day for 100 days. All the clans that get selected will be announced on the TotalBF2.com website.

Below are some of the requirements for a clan to be chosen. Make sure that your clan has these things prepared.

1. Clans must have at least three members.
2. Your clan must choose a leader. Only the leader will be able to fill out the application.
3. All of your clan members must be registered on the following websites (PLEASE READ THE FOLLOW UP POST THAT I MADE BEFORE YOU COMMENT ON THIS PART):

a. www.totalbf2.com
b. www.totalbf2142.com
c. www.totalaa.com
d. www.totalquakewars.com

These are some of the requirements. When the application is posted you should make sure that your clan leader reads it thoroughly and makes thoughtful answers. We are looking for good feedback. The better the answers the better your clan’s chances.

If you have any questions and you can't wait to get them answered you can try to email me at greg@myinternetservices.com.


Napoleon

Glad to see the program, thanks for putting this together and we look forward to participating if we are selected.

Re: 100 Clans in 100 days! UPDATE

The clan I am in (}SoC{) was looking to rent a 32 man server from MyIS. This looks like a great offer that might just make our clan leaders a little happyer. However, knowing great offers, they always have a catch. I have a few questions about this.

1. So to do this our clan members, all 332 of us, have to register on four different sites? Does it have to be ALL of us or can it be like 50 or more?
2. Does the free server we get have the same features as a rented server from MyIS? Will the server be a lower end PC/have any other downsides?
3. Would our clan have full control over the server? IE: BF2CC, ability to change server message/sponsor image/etc?
4. How long do we get to keep the server?
5. Do we have to accept the free hosting, or can we just get the free server?

Please reply. Our clan might just do this.

1. So to do this our clan members, all 332 of us, have to register on four different sites? Does it have to be ALL of us or can it be like 50 or more?

a. We are helping your clan out by sponsoring them. This is one of the small things we are asking in return. But with that said, do as many as you want. Just keep in mind that we need your help to grow and continue to bring these type of things to the players.

2. Does the free server we get have the same features as a rented server from MyIS? Will the server be a lower end PC/have any other downsides?

a. WE WILL NEVER GIVE OUT A SERVER THAT WE WILL NOT PLAY! So yes all the specs are the same.

4. How long do we get to keep the server?

a. That information will be in the appilcation.

5. Do we have to accept the free hosting, or can we just get the free server?

a. We are offering the website space. If you already have a website up and working stay with your current host.

Re: 100 Clans in 100 days! UPDATE

Thanks for the quick replies! You might want to add a FAQ section to your first post to keep people from asking you questions over and over. :)

I have registered on the other three forums as }SoC{ÅMT. I was wondering if an admin could change my name to that on these forums.

Some people in }SoC{ are registering now...I hope to get as many on here as possible!
