I know we've played together more than twice, Michelle.. but as for the rest, well, I tend to be much more active on the forum when I have adminship of some kind because I check for abuse threads, server status threads and such, but hey, my rank in ZM didn't get there overnight, and my 40 posts/year are pure gold if you read them!!
So, one -1, five +1's??![]()

I wouldn't say that only a few people know me, not at all in fact, and I think my time as admin (and accumulated 896 hours on the server) speaks for itself: I've always been a fair admin, and I manage players effectively to keep the server fun and worth coming back to.
But really, if the only thing that matters for clan is that I'm super active and post-happy on the forums, then I think the priorities for clan membership are totally upside-down. Clan members should be responsible individuals that can manage the servers fairly and promote the kind of fun that keeps people coming back to Ibis, and maybe have some role to play in the forums for disputes (reviewing demos, voting on permbans, new map submission / old map deletion, etc). A clan member should be articulant, and not belligerent. A clan member should be someone that has playered on the servers for years and knows how the whole thing operates, and what it takes to operate smoothly. And it would really help if a clan member actually knew something about server admin'ing on the UNIX back-end, so ZERO doesn't have to shoulder the whole load if something goes wrong from server updates or someone exploits the server to avoid ban or grant unprivileged admin powers, or whatever!
If that is what being in clan is all about, then I'm absolutely the man for the job, despite what you may think about me based on my post count. But if the biggest requirement is post activity on the forum, and none of those other things matter worth a damn for clan, then I'm sure I don't want anything to do with clan.

you may be the man for the job, but since you only play zmod and aren't active here, nobody knows who you are. you should also know being a clan member is about dedication, and a lack of activity here and on the various servers doesn't show that. i have never played with you to my knowledge and that's a testament to what i'm talking about. there are 4 servers here and an active forum community. playing on zmod for a while doesn't qualify you for clan membership, not by a long shot.
