Excellent.
Regarding the forum, I don't have one as yet, but creating a forum or a sub-forum on an existing message board is a very good idea.
I'd offer space on the MG forum but I doubt the mercs would like the clutter. Then again, I could make it so they couldn't see it.
If you're interested I could work something out to split the MG forum in half with minor clutter for either sides - and if your clan grows big enough you can split it off to another forum.
Still a maybe, though, I'd have to ask Tom and HVLD.
