I didn't want NairX's clan thread to be derailed so I moved the posts here. Some information about house clans. This is a free service provided by us which takes quite some time to set up and integrate with the site because i have to custom code it in each time. We have quite a few requests from clans who aren't even active or will not make a good fit, and we can't accept all applications.

Nobody is "entitled" to have a house clan, it is not your right. Being around for 1 year as a shitty bad manner clan doesn't matter. We give house clan status to deserving clans and hope the exposure encourages them to grow bigger and stronger. Do we want to encourage a shitty bm clan to be a bigger shitty bm clan? Absolutely not.

Two shinning examples of clans that have benefited from our house clan system and were a perfect match with us are ToR and mGG. They started as really small SC2SEA house clans and through good leadership and dedication went on to receive hundreds of recruitment applications through the automated form provided. Having good leadership is very important and that's one of the differences that made them stand out from the rest.

House Clan criteria:

1. Mature and dedicated leader - This is very important or your clan will just be inactive / dissolve through internal conflict. Having a good OP created is a sign of dedication and so is encouraging and motivating your members and dealing with them internally when they **** up (instead of supporting them regardless just because you're in the same clan)
2. Activity on SC2SEA - This is another huge one, if you're not active before you're a house clan you're not going to be active after being a house clan. There is no point having your own forums here if they aren't being used, so get your members to participate actively.
3. Respectable behaviour - We don't want to associate with clans who behave poorly that will tarnish the image of sc2sea or 'esports' in our region. Bad manner clans need not apply, you can make your own homepage simple as that.

On the topic of IXL, i actually gave them the benefit of the doubt and set up a page for them a long time back in Jan. http://www.sc2sea.com/view_ixlhome.htm I told IXLives to msg me when its ready and their info was added in. In fact, most of it is already done. IXLives told me to wait on announcing it because they were creating their own new site. Recent immaturity from their members who have no clue what went on have made me reconsider. (i.e Malice's post below which was actually made before this OP).

I have moved the rest of the posts from the NairX thread over here. This thread can be used to discuss house clan status for clans on the consideration listt and you can recommend clans that deserve to be house clans.
