I_cant_Swim_ Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Folks, it's here! It’s real! And it works, even! DevStrike! proudly presents... ClanBase What is ClanBase? ClanBase is a free hosting service for Clans and Clubs offered by DevStrike! for the greater WoWs community. a Clan is a group of members belonging to the same WoWs game Clan. a Club is a group of members with a shared interest in a DevStrike!-supported topic. The distinction is real – for instance, Clans are bound to the game, have limited size and generally have higher privacy requirements. Clubs can be larger, may be more open to new members and may have most of their activity on external sites or in real-world locations. Examples of Clubs are: movie clubs, book clubs, museum clubs, charities, help organizations, and streamer clubs that help make relevant, streamer-generated content more accessible to the Forum membership. What can you expect from ClanBase? A free site for hosting your Clan or Club Professional, solid platform Forum functionality High Forum visibility Clan and Club posts and Events integrated into the DevStrike!

Additionally, it is available only as a single and non-divisible extension, meaning Clans and Clubs share the same code and are recognized by the host platform as being identical. We have reached the limit of what we can meaningfully change in the underlying code to force a distinction between Clubs and Clans, hence Club members may see the word "Clan" rather "Club" in the Overview page, for instance, and Clans set to "open" are listed as Clubs (because most Clubs are Open, whereas Clans are usually "Closed"). It is understandable if you are somewhat confused at this point - what it means is that a clean separation of clubs and clans will only be possible once we "acquire" a bigger and more complex hosting package. Additionally, we also may need to limit the number of Clans and Clubs initially supported, to understand the workload on our server and ensure space requirements remain manageable. For these reasons, we will be monitoring the deployment of Clans and Clubs carefully over the coming months. Want to try out Clanbase?
