Map Making Militants?

remember when some map makers asked for a private place to talk about xml and special ideas and stuff like that? a place where we could share ideas and get immediate help from fellow map makers before posting it in the foundry?
this could be that chance because clans receive their own special sub forum.

IDEAS BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE CLAN:
1. some people here setup test games for xml features and stuff like that. for example i have played games with yeti_c coleman and gimil to test yeti_c's version of BOB. games that could have been easier setup and discussed in a dedicated thread. but making a thread like that in the foundry would be kinda hard because lots of people would come by and post unrelated things.
2. i have ideas of maps even i think are too outrageous. i discuss them via pm or mail with other people but if i had a place where to post them it would be great. a place where map makers and foundry regulars can post about my ideas without strangers coming and posting crap.
3. i will start a business of making posters (soon i hope) and i'd like to put them in a thread and get advice from people that know photoshop. i can't put them in the foundry because i'd be offtopic and i can't put them in the clubhouse because a guy that never used photoshop could say they're great but a skilled map maker could point out potential flaws and even give solutions.
4. and last but not least it would be a great way to meet fellow map makers setup games and chat.
5. the foundry will not deteriorate because i assume andy cairns and coleman will also be a part of this clan and they won't allow anybody to make a map and then put it in the foundry and ask for quenching. the map will still have to go through the whole process.
RANKS:
i for one don't quite like rank based clans unless all the ranks are funny stuff. so no military type divisions and ranking and shit like that.
of course we need a few mods (i nominate the same guys we have in the foundry)
ADMISSION:
1. anybody that has a map quenched or in FF is automatically admited
2. all other applications are submitted to the whole clan and after voting the application is rejected or accepted. there are plenty of foundry regulars that deserve to be in this clan but that doesn't mean that every guy that posted once in the foundry should be accepted.
3. all members can belong to other clans.

I'd like to be in this if we can work easier on maps and ideas!
