Personally think "Allied patriots" rolls off the tongue a little better, both sound cool enough though...

"Allied Patriots" sound cool. "The Biohazard Crew" is kind of lame in my opinion. Go with Allied Patriots.

^agreed

make sure you have a server and a site set up before you start the clan, i've seen many clans disentegrate because they dont have a server and they use some cheap free website

also makes you look like a n00b clan, no offense

Yes, Someone asked me to join there clan and they didn't even have a site or server! They claimed it was under construction, and instead requested my e-mail.

Anyway, AP sounds good.

ok thanks all for your imput!

i no a website is a must! thats not a problem as i have my own server and no a thing or two about web designing.

i no a game server is a must aswell but with only 2 people in the clan its a little hard to buy one!

Yeah, you must have a website and a sevrer. I was in a clan which didnt have these and it fell apart very quickly. Also, you really have to be dedicated to keeping the clan up to date and active. Mature members are a must. Buy your webspace and either rent a server, or run your own. I see you're doing the latter, but when doing that make sure you have a fast enough broadband connection and an extra pc you can run a dedicated server on (why everyone recommends renting a dedicated server---they really hog bandwidth). Finally, make sure you really are sure about creating a clan before you shell out $50+ on a server. Just my two cents.

More people will join if you have the above before u begin recruiting--when recruiting don't just pick anyone, test them out first and choose wisely.

I hAtE wHeN pEoPlE tYpE lIkE tHiS. That aside...also make sure whatever internet connection you are using can host at least 18 people...any less than that is kind of boring for BF: Vietnam. You can get away with 10 or 12 people in CS or HL, but Vietnam or 1942, you need at least 18 people.

just to say, mature members arent a must as long as the younger members arent noobish or whiney about stuff

I didn't say no to little children...I just meant they had to be mature. Although sometimes 12 year olds can be a little immature when they dont get their way...

I really like your site sheeepy the noob.

GO 2AD! (im in it) Also if you wanna run a server off your own computer check and see if there is fiber optics available in your area, it kills.

I must agree with Neal Clayton (aka Xayd) =P hehehe
I reckon that Allied Patriots is a bit commonplace... go for a clan name which attracts attention, mainly by either being weird or funny. I used to have a clan on Starcraft which I won't mention the name of in here, but it was funny, and we could use the clan name as part of our playing name.
For example, call yourself Team Blue then be Blue Nipple etc. (I know that's a terrible example, can't think straight at the moment, tired =D )
