Staying in touch with clan members can be one of the hardest tasks for starting and experienced gaming clans alike. People have different schedules, maybe they live half-way across the world, maybe they are just busy. I have found that a simple forum can prove to be an invaluable tool. Below are a few ideas to consider.

• Make sure you get your clan excited about your board and ready to post. No one likes a empty massage board. Spark some conversations about past matches, etc.
• Get your members in a habit of checking your message board often for news and updates. This will increase overall activity and keep the board active and fun.
• Create a recruitment thread to help keep newcomers organized.

  Post pictures/stats of past battles, make other clans jealous!

• Create polls to see what people thought or think of certain events.
• So much more can be done as well.

Well, that
