update by =lilly-peacecraft



This Guide has been up since September of 04'

I'm not sure how many people have asked this question...so I thought I should post something on this matter!

How to make a club? Where can I find out information about making a club? Would there be an question on the FAQ? Well I was in the same ball park when I was thinking of making a PGSM Club ( *liveactionsailormoon ). So asked one of the staff members on deviantart. They've told me that the clubs on deviant are made up/not real......meaning you wouldn't find any info about the clubs on the FAQ page.

So here it is! All you want to know about making a club!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is how I started my club. (After looking at other clubs to see what they have done with the rules, members and affiliates etc. and checking to see if there's not already club for what anime, live action etc club that I'm planning to open. )

Here are a few groups/listings that you can check out to see about what clubs are out there: updated as of 2/14/08

Club Search Stamp made by © =parallellogic



Basics'

*You would need to sign up again with a different user name for the club. For an example when your are signing up on deviant. ex: PGSM (I've sign up using the liveactionsailormoon for the username *liveactionsailormoon )

*In the journal: mention a Welcome to this club (Name of the club), About the club (If you want to; you don't have to, but it gives people a little info about the club), Mention that your the creator or you run the club or if anyone else is helping with the club like ex: I don't run my PGSM myself I have a friend ~takuto-kun help.

*Then Rules: These are pretty easy. All that you have to do is mention: If you like to join the club please send us a note with the subject line saying "Join" ex: for PGSM its "PGSM: Joining" then link the club's icon in your journal ex: for PGSM : iconliveactionsailormoon : without the spaces and devwatch us for the lastest info about the club.

*For members, some clubs either use text link or icon link. For an example Members : devlilly-peacecraft : without spaces for the text link or : iconlilly-peacecraft : without any spaces.

*Affiliates; they are clubs that are affiliate with your club(s). Related to the club's subject matter or non-related.

Most clubs have a message mentioning about Art Submition, like fan art that you like the club to post. All you have to do is mention something about please send the club a note with the link of your submited piece that you would like the club to post.

One last thing....I've added this after starting my clubs an Question and Concerns part. You don't have to mention this in your journal if you don't want to.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So there it is a simple guide line to help you first time club makers ^.^ Below I have set up example on what a club's front jounral would look like. Reminding....you don't have to do what I do...its your club. You can step it up anyway you like.

Welcome to "Name of the club goes here"

Then you can mention About the club here: For PGSM I needed to make another journal entrie since I have alot of members and other stuff post on my Journal. For ex: go to my About page. Of if you were wonder about URL text links here's ex: < a href="http://liveactionsailormoon.deviantart.com/journal/2017801/">About
without the spaces between " < a " and "About " .

Then you mention who runs the club "your name either text link or icon link"

Join
All you have to do is send us a note with the subject line saying "Join" then link the club's icon to your journal and dewatch us.

Rules:
1) Send us a Note!
2) Subject- "Join"
3) You must like "Name of the series or what you club is about"...duh
4) You must link us from your Journal or Signature
5) Once you become a member you must devwatch the club so you can be in contact about what's happening in the club like contest, etc and put the club's icon in your journal. Ex: : iconliveactionsailormoon : (without the spaces)

Members
List of the members that have joined your club. Either use the text link or icon link. Or if you get alot of members like for my *liveactionsailormoon club has you can make an URL text link that is linked to your Member's journal entrie....(For me I waited until I got 50 members before making an Member's journal page)

Example:
I set up my members pages or list them since theres a max of 64 icons per journal thats DA allows I ten to go with the scale of 1-50, 51-70, 71-100, 101-150, 151-170, 171-200, 201-250, 251-270, 271-300 and so on.... for the text links for the members. As for the making the text urls its a simple url code = (You can use this code for any url text link you use) < a href="http://liveactionsailormoon.devian tart.com/journal/2017801/">About " < / a > " and "About " without the spaces and your get About


Affiliates
List of other clubs or if theres any sites. Either us use the text link, icon link or for sites the url text link.

Art Submit
If you like to send the club any fan art feel free to send the club a note with the link of the art that you would like the club to post. Or you can mention if you want anyone to note you. You can make that note too.

I've added this on my club ...if anyone had any questions or concerns.

Questions and concerns:
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to note the club or make commets below or you can note "you can mention you if you like anyone to note you: with your questions and concerns!



Below are some text/icon/other codes for you to use

DA text username:
: dev lilly-peacecraft : without any spaces your'll get =lilly-peacecraft

Icon username:
: iconlilly-peacecraft : without any spaces you'll get:
:iconlilly-peacecraft:

URLs links:
< a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://http ://neondragonart . com">Neon Dragon Art < /a without anyspaces you'll get Neon Dragon Art (basily a simple html code)

Also just like =I3lizzard said check out FAQ #81: How can I make links to other deviants, deviations, or websites? the FAQ page is very helpful after reading it I was able to do more with my account and add more.

For bolding your texts:
< b > update < /b > without any spaces you'll get: update

For more html codes like bolding check out: FAQ #104 What HTML formatting may be used on deviantART, forums, dAmn and the shoutbox? And what is the format for these codes? FAQ #104: What HTML formatting can we use on deviantART? And what is the format for these codes?

Also some people ask how I set up my members pages or list them since theres a max of 64 icons per journal thats DA allows I ten to go with the scale of 1-50, 51-70, 71-100, 101-150, 151-170, 171-200, 201-250, 251-270, 271-300 and so on.... for the text links for the members. As for the making the text urls its a simple url code = (You can use this code for any url text link you use) < a href="http://liveactionsailormoon.devian tart.com/journal/2017801/">About " < / a > " and "About " without the spaces and your get About .

Enjoy!

Thats all to starting a club(s).....then later you can worry about starting up contests. If your running a club(s) by yourself, you can apoint someone to help you come up with ideas for contests. Or if your good at that kind of things then thats great! Hope that helps all of you?! If you have anymore questions....feel free to note me back =lilly-peacecraft

Okay, so you have the account set up, how do you get the stuff to post as art submissions under the correct name of the artist?

DA Gallery: here

ooo...once a member sends the club a note with the line of their art you can save the image and re-upload it to the club's account with the member's ok first. Ok some club's give their member's the password to logo on themselves and have the member upload them.

I've been saving my members art in a file on my computer for the each club and upload them to the club's account. Other clubs are different...its your club and your free to either upload the image on the club's account or give your password to the members or dewatch the image.

I can't believe I forgot to mention that....thanks for commenting on this matter.

Hope this helps?! If not let me know...

Have any of your administrators stolen the password to make it there own club? Is there a way to prevent it? And if they do what can you do about it? Do you report them to the proper authorities? Who would be the proper authorities? Would they like be able to like ban them for a certain amout of time?

thanks! I haven't had any of my administrators who work with me stolen the password because there my friends that I see everyday....but if say by the chance you run in that one of your administrators stolen your password and you didn't want them on it....you can always change the password.

My vice pres. from the ~ liveactionsailormoon is my best friend from my college and I can trust him as for my other co-runners on :devtakechi-senshi: there my friends... but really haven't had any problems....you can always not give the password to anyone or change the password. If you having problems my guest is to contact deviant about this.

Hope this helps....sorry for not replying back to you eariler...I haven't had the internet for 2 weeks and also just got back from ACen too ^.^

OO you must mean for the members pages; if you have over 50 members for your club. Since theres a max of 64 icons per journal thats DA allows I ten to go with the scale of 1-50, 51-70, 71-100, 101-150, 151-170, 171-200, 201-250, 251-270, 271-300 and so on.... for the text links for the members. As for the making the text urls its a simple url code = (You can use this code for any url text link you use) < a href="http://liveactionsailormoon.devian tart.com/journal/2017801/">About " < / a > " and "About " without the spaces and your get About .

Hope this helps?
