I tried searching to see if anyone posted about this before, and apparently no one has?

Back in January, Edwin created a GWJ clan on Xfire using that program's new clan group support. A ton of GWJ regulars still have outstanding invites to join.

It's pretty damn nice, being able to join and have all the GWJers show up in a separate collapsible menu outside of the main "Friends" section, saving you the trouble of having to manually add every new person that joins.

Cough me if this was posted about before, I couldn't find it.

Yay. Now that there's more blood around, maybe I can finally sucker a GWJer into playing DotA with me.

I sent you an invite and you're listed in the pending members/invitations list. You didn't get it?

So, turns out the invite comes via email. Here I am waiting for a popup from xfire lol. Anyway, all sorted out now.

Clan size limit is 100, currently full with active members plus standing invites. Only 66 of the 100 are active, some long-ignored invites will need to be weeded out.

Xfire FAQ suggests the limit will be raised in the future. The clan feature is still considered "beta".

I think I got my invite via pop up before, but that was a month or so back. Weird.

Hey Edwin, let's get some updates to the "favorite games" stuff on the clan page. I know there's games getting more play than Worms Armageddon. (I don't know why the clan page only lists the "favorite games" on the Gameplay Hours board, seems kind of dumb to make the clan leader manually update the "favorites" in order to keep the list from getting stale)

That feature is the most awesome kind of bad-ass. It looks and acts exactly like an Outlook notification. Xfire continues to impress me.
