ClanBase has been utilizing IRC and Quakenet as its main form or real-time peer to peer interaction since the dial-up era.
That was a very long time ago and for this reason we would like to know how the current generation of users are relating to it.
For this reason, we created a poll. If you would kind scroll down, you will see it on the right.
IRC was, and to most of us, still is the best way to communicate between a large group of people. This is where we provide support and also try to group people of common interest in channels. We have a channel for every game we support, a help channel for the users, and of course everyone knows our main #clanbase channel where CB Radio's listeners are always having a blast when our DJ's are on.
But times change, so please tell us how you prefer to communicate with your friends, clan members, opponents, how do you find wars, etc.

Smaller and older communities benefit big time from IRC. For new games you could step away from IRC but the older.. you really shouldn't. |

Best way to communicate with friends is definately via Steam or a voice chat client such as Mumble.
I mostly play counter-strike in the finnish ladder, meaning the only viable option i have to find wars and opponents is on #matsi. A very very oldschool way of finding wars, especially when there already are BETTER and NEWER types of software out there that allow an easier way to find opponents and play ranked matches. In Sweden they have a great system at http://www.playnation.se. Its incredibly easy, accounts linked to EAC and servers linked to the webpage. You just go on a server with your team, wait for another team to join (no challenge system), play the game, and the scores, hltv, stats etc are all automatically uploaded to the site. Very quick, smart and handy. I would love if clanbase could buy their system / develop their own. |

Our rules also require other things such as playing fair, not cheating and so on, yet people lame their opponents after matches with conflicts and we ban around 500 accounts each month.
However, if newcomers have no clue what IRC is and what it does, we can at least do something about that. |

We actually do have similar tools called open challenges and automatch system. I guess they're not simple enough to use. |

And as stated like the guy above me:
A simple match searching tool, something like what ESL has, just to play matches right at that time, without planning to far into the future |

Interesting, we will look into this. |

"Yes, but i would prefer something different (comment)"
Have an official ClanBase war search channel for each active game ClanBase is hosting since the Call of Duty 2 war channel (#cod2.wars) is not being managed or motored anymore like it used to be a year ago with spamming detection. Second suggestion; design a match searching system at ClanBase different then the match entries we are able to make (what is not being used anyway). |
