I partly agree.
Those ways (IM, Skype) are quite handy to stay in contact with a few clan members, but if the clan is growing I would totally recommend an IRC chat room and a mumble server (or a channel on the ogros.org server for that matter), and also a forum. This is the basic infrastructure - irc for discussions, small talk and also to be connected to the rest of the community, and an internal forum where everything important is written down and discussed.
Mumble can also be used in the way IRC is, discussions and community activity.
Those ways are common in the communities I know. Instant Messaging and eMail should be only an additional mean, but not the only one.

But you do still relize, that if they want a fourm for their clan they can just use Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/

or Xanga: http://www.xanga.com/

And many other sites that allow them to place things, I even have written about Sauerbraten Cube(2) and Cube(1) and AC on my Myspace and Xanga... Please keep in mind Hero that although it is not forbidden to use these fourms as such, as I said in #6, not many people will be intrested in "clan news".

goaway x.X
myspace is more than a social network. A clan needs a forum, clean and simple phpbb for example.

and when talking about "forum" I do NOT speak of this cubeengine forum here, just to clarify that.

granted that your not talking about these fourms... but honestly, its best to just pick xanga, its less used nowdays, not too well known, and its a faster use... but you have to relize that just because there are more people on myspace, doesn\'t mean its still not a good choice. the whole fourm idea for this clan still hits on xanga though, because they have a \"bulletin post bored\", in which you can post your own message (without having to be the owner of the domain), and its free. besides, you have to think about his rationaly, where on earth would you find a free website that you can edit for yourself without buying and paying money for, and use it as a fourm. trust me, i still say xanga: http://www.xanga.com/

You can use forum scripts on many free web hosts.

www.freewebs.com
and from there you can make a fourm on it as well as anouncments like a blog strait to the front page.

within two days (less than that, its just i had to get off for a lot of the time, so it was more like two hours at most). i have already opened an xanga site (which no one has visited, because i didn't make any tags and such) and made it almost perfect. check it out and then tell me why xanga is not as useful as freewebs: http://www.xanga.com/SBCubeonline

So where is the forum you were talking about?
Seriously, it's way more professional to just get some free webspace (ohost.de, cwcity.de, ...) and put stuff on it. Everyone who reads stuff for an hour or two can do an html page as well (and there are oss for that, too: joomla, webspell, whatnot.)
This is by far more customizable and looks way better than this strange xanga site you put on, if you just take one of the dozens of themes for those scripts.
And if you just need a forum, then there are also a lot of websites that give you just that (parlaris.com, plusboard.com).

"It"? If you want an example: http://x10hosting.com

@(noerrorsfound): did you even check my last post? its almost the same thing, your still making a site from a site, and thus its easier to just use one with simple hex codes instead of HTML... even if x10hosting has hex instead, xanga is still useful none the less... don't make it such a big deal about it...

@Hero: i made this xanga look like that, you can post diffrent pictures and backgrounds, and you can mess with Hex, which is easier than HTML coloring...

"you can mess with Hex, which is easier than HTML coloring"

I'm quite sure what you mean, but as someone who's actually DONE Web design, I think it's the exact same thing.

(Also, I like how that has devolved into arguing over the website.)

lol, Happens... But yeah, I have done a bit (not much btw) of web design. But I always find it easier to use hex instead of HTML, and its extreamly easy to help people who are having trouble with hex (mainily people who have never tried hex before) to teach them, instead of trying to explain to them what 000000 means or FFFFFF... Although I understand HTML coloring, I still leave in this the fact that hex is easier which is why I was giving out the site (xanga) because (even though xanga does HTML) they still have color palets that you can choose what color your looking for. Where as I do not have a x10hosting so I do not know if they even have color palets...

You cannot use color codes in place of a markup language. You're comparing two unalike things; hex color codes are used within HTML, XHTML, and CSS to define the colors of different items on the page.

Searching Google for "hexadecimal colors" could get you one of these wonderful palettes. You might also want to look up an XHTML tutorial to learn the basics of creating a website.
