Ok so we need to create a forumpost that we can just copy/paste to any forum-board. The good thing about recruiting via forum-boards is the people who will view the post will already know how to use our forums. Waypoint should be our primary target.

Ok so I believe we should set it up this way....

Introduction of FC/Lore
History of FC
Interviews/Quotes of Members
Videos of FC
Site Link/How to join

Site link should be hotlinked everytime FC is mentioned.

I figured the mentioning of boot-camp would be last because the reader has shown enough interest to read through the whole post.

Feel free to post any suggestions for this Universal Recruitment post. This needs to look professional so you writers start thinking!


Body:
Hello! My name is *insert name here* and I am here to tell you about the war simulator community that is Forerunner Conflict. What is a war simulator community you ask? In a nutshell, it is a community that simulates the actual feeling of a real war and military-like feeling in the HALO universe. There are two armies, REDD and BLUE, who "battle" every Sunday night at 7PM over various maps to gain control of a "war map" that we have created. In a war simulator, each army has a ranking system, and each army also has Battalions, Platoons, and Squads. The "Wars" (as we call them) use a variety of gametypes, some simple such as SLAYER and CTF, and others more unique and custom-made, but in the end all feel like an actual war setting. ***See bottom of post if you are already in a clan

History of our community:
Our community has been around since the spring of 2005, which means we've been around for SIX YEARS. Our name has gone through various changes, most notable ones are Red vs. Blue Wars, Allies vs. Axis, Galactic Wars, and Red vs. Blue Retaliation, before finally becoming Forerunner Conflict by the start of Halo 3. Through the years we've gone through many positive changes to make our wars more authentic and fun. Currently, there are approximately 200-250 soldiers and growing fast each day.

This all sounds awesome! How do I join!?
Well first off, you should visit our forum boards, register, and enlist for whichever army you would like. Our forums are www.FCwars.net. But, you can't immediately jump into battle once you enlist! Even in the actual world, all enlisted must go through a BOOT CAMP. Yes, you heard me, BOOT CAMP. This has been the TRADEMARK of our community since the day it was created. All members must go through a BOOT CAMP, in which they will be told the rules, regulations, and will be shown several few military-like tactics that can come in handy in the actual battles or even matchmaking! We also to use BOOT CAMPS to weed out anyone who isn't interested or not taking us seriously. Universal Boot Camps take place every Mondays and Wednesdays at 8pm EASTERN TIME.

This leads me to discuss our most IMPORTANT RULE:
RESPECT!
Though our community is a war simulator and we take our roles seriously, our number one focus is about RESPECT and making sure everyone is having fun, because in the end that's why people play video games, to have FUN! If you join, don't hate someone because they are in a different army, our job is to make sure everyone is friendly and having a fun time, while at the same time being competitive! We encourage people to make many new friends.

Wrap Up:
So if you are looking for a fun, yet military-like competitiveness and new interesting experience over HALO: Reach, PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY!! I will gladly respond ASAP and answer any questions. If you can't reach me for some reason, here is a list of others you can contact:
*post other recruiters*

MAKE SURE YOU VISIT OUR FORUMS FIRST THOUGH! FCWARS.net!! MAKE SURE YOU POST IN THE UNIVERSAL RECRUITMENT SECTION PLEASE!

***If you are already in a clan, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR CLAN TO JOIN OUR COMMUNITY. Like I said, we are a community, not a clan. You can bring your clan as a group into these wars and we will give you a set squad/platoon depending on how many people you have. But again, by no means are we trying to destroy or poach members from your clan. If you are interested in affiliating with us, then by all means contact our Forerunners:

Hey great Idea, the biggest problem is everybody uses waypoint or bungie.net to recruit so we really have to stand out from the other guys. The more interesting we make this the more results we will get.

Ok so we can use spartanBHs post as a base. Maybe add some more detail and add the videos in.

A lot of these other clans have some spiffy posts. We need to compete with that.

not many people use yotube to find clans... some do, but you wont get alot

sure videos are good to have and use, but not have it where thats the only thing out and about to help recruit... forums are much better

We can take spartan's post and just add in videos. Maybe a few more sentences or whatever Donkey brings to the table.

SpartanBHs post does the trick. Just added videos to bottom. Make sure you guys bump this topic so it remains at the top of the recruitment forums.
