Member Requirements? (btw, Hi!)
Heya .Lang!
My friend and I (BLiGHT) have been playing on your server almost exclusively since we started playing ET. Whole bunch of us used to play a lot of RTCW and for a while had a server up (was the <GG> Beach Server) until we got shut down.
But anyways, I've been interested in trying out to be a Langster, though I wasn't able to find anything definative on your website regarding what you require from your members. I tend to be an on again, off again player and from experience, I've noted that most clans are not cool with this. And understandably so. So, do you require mandatory attendence as far as practices and scrims go? Actually, do you ever scrim? Or do you need to be an avid poster? I don't post often, but when I do, they end up like this monstrocity.
In any event, thanks for running such a great server. The speed and performance is top notch and the level of players your server attracts is better than most, if not all the servers I've tried (usually while waiting to get on NF ). Though perhaps most refreshing is that with all the skilled players you have in your membership, none I have met have been abusive, rude or otherwise. Most clans always have at least one asshole (usually the best shot, unfortunetly) and I've often felt unwelcome on many public clan servers.
Thanks again

Hey TechSupport, I've seen you around. Nice of you to stop by.
As for the mandatory attendence, no, I don't believe we really require you be there every practice (or 'gathering', if you prefer), although showing commitment to the Lang community is an important part of becoming--and staying--a member.
And if you think that post is a monstrocity, just check out the News forum

Sorry for taking so long to reply this post. I am still without power from Hurricane Isabel.
To answer your question, we look for a few general things that are all equally important.
First, we look for people with great personalities. Those who are mature and courteous to other players both on the field and in the Lounge.
This boils over in to the other two areas:
The Lounge; We look for people who are eager to communicate with other members, and are diligent to continue this type of activity for the duration of their membership.
The Servers; While a part of our community, it is each Lang's responsibility to uphold the name of Lang. That is, to set a high precedent for us both by actions and/or words (or lackthereof).
We wouldn't be who we were by being ordinary. Only by taking things a step further are people going to notice Lang and the great bunch of people who help the community continue to grow.

eep! I thought I posted a respones the other day, but I musta botched it. Hard to get used to all this new technology
Thanks for the all the responses and the warm reception! Sorry to hear that you're still without power, Java. Glad you made it through without anything worse happening though.
Thanks for the info on getting signed up with Lang. I've never been very good at keeping up with boards and newsgroups, so perhaps I might not be such a great fit for Lang. But I think it's a great thing that you are building here though and I wish you continued success.
Thanks again for running such a great server!
I'll cya guys around.
As I saw Hameed say once: v55

hey look.. it's a TechSupport
Sup .Lang
Tech pretty much asked what i wanted to ask. I'm as interested as he is in joining, but like him, i'm awful at keeping up with boards. Oh well, I didn't think i could just stroll on in and say "I wanna be a Lang!" and it'd happen
Great server guys and Thanks.

Played a wee bit with you a long while ago and really enjoyed it. Good to see you in the Lounge.

The <GG> Beach server? From NYC? By God, you guys are co-workers of my college buddy Kneepad!! I used to play with him on the Gang Green server before you guys had to shut it down.
Funny to think I may actually either know you or have heard about you after playing with you guys a few days ago on NF!!
