To add your clan to the Central Outpost community, you, as the clan's leader, need to follow the simple steps outlined on this page.

Step 1: Register a User Account

First, you'll need a User Account with the Central Outpost. (Note: A User Account is different than a Forum Account.) If you don't already have a user account, click "Register" under the Register/Log in heading at the top of the page. You will be taken to the user registration form. Registering a user account with us is completely free, as is everything at the Outpost.

Fill out the form on the registration page in its entirety (similar to the example above), and make extra sure that your e-mail address is correct, because next, you will need to activate your account, which requires getting information from an e-mail message that is sent to you by our system. Also make sure that you select "Yes" where it states "I'm interested in using this user account to apply for a clan account".

Step 2: Activate your User Account

Follow the link provided in the e-mail message to activate your account. Once your account is activated, you will be given the option to log in. Following that link will take you to the log in page where you will enter your username and password.

Step 3: Log In

Only check the "Keep me logged in on this computer" checkbox if you are using your own computer. If you are at a shared computer, leave the box unchecked so that others may not access your account. Your browser must be set to accept cookies for this to work. All browsers accept cookies by default, however, some Internet security programs may turn cookies off. If your browser is having trouble accepting cookies, leave the checkbox unchecked to use a no-cookie "session" instead. If this fails for some reason, loading the login page in a different web browser should do the trick.

If for some reason you did not receive the account activation e-mail, you may have it resent by using the following option in your control panel.

Step 4: Apply for a Clan Account

If your user account is not activated, you will not be able to apply for a clan account, so if you are having trouble activating your account, please contact us for support. However, if your account is activated, your Control Panel will look something like the following. You will find the "Apply for a Clan Account" option in the bottom box in your Control Panel.

Following the link will take you directly to the clan account application form. This form too should be filled out in its entirety.

Provide all the important information about your clan to improve your chances of approval. Once the form is successfully submitted, your clan account will be marked as pending, awaiting an administrator's approval.

Step 5: Wait for your Account to be Reviewed

Upon approval, which may take several days, your clan's information will be displayed in our directory, and eventually you will be able to enter your clan in other activities on our site. Thanks for your interest in participating in our community!
