In Game Clan setup

I may be relatively new to the forums, as I just joined today. for me im used to the idea that the in game clan is connected to the forums and visa versa. so that would mean, an all member clan has all member forums, a mixed clan mixed forums and a f2p clan, f2p forums. the setup here is a tad different as i learned: its a mixed forums with a p2p only clan. i didnt find this out until inquiring a clan member if i could join, than being informed that it was members only and that the information was in the forums, i replyed by saying i couldnt see it. im not trying to criticize the setup, but id like to make two suggestions. the first would be, knowing nonmembers would like to join, posting that the ingame clan is in fact members only in the getting started or essential information area.

the second, looking at the size of the community, would be to start a mixed ingame clan. it would satisfy some of the people who are nonmembers and wish to join a clan in relation to these forums (I myself, one of these people ). personally, i dont want to be elected leader if this mixed clan starts, mainly because i am pretty busy and cant spend alot of time online monitoring things and such. but if you could find someone willing to, i think it would be a great idea to have.

Ive already found that, it was after I was told by an ingame clan member to check the citadel area for that info.
