I've been in the clan for a few weeks now and just want to say it is a great bunch of people. I was very late to the season and still managed to get the portrait frame thanks to the generosity of several <Dfans> members (shout out to yso and LordRyche). I've grouped with several people on my non-seasonal character, and always have a good time! (ksw, gosupa, Justin, seanh, aboveone, Dizzy et al)
There does seem to be a bit of a disconnect between seasonal/non-seasonal players, a suggestion (feel free to reject it outright) would be to have two Dfans groups, one seasonal and one non-seasonal. I know other clans do this, and if the current clan is full that would free up a ton of room.
Thanks for the shout out Always glad to help deserving players, and troll the non-deserving ones.

NA servers - add me if ya want - ysoserious#1178. - i run a clan if anyone wants an invite. no requirements to join - as long as your nice and friendly your more than welcome
Ive just applied this morning. Mostly offline waiting for 2.3 and s4 to start. Hope youll have me in (eu server) looking for people level and play with.
I main the barb class, swapped sc to hc in season 2. Hope to cu ingame. Paragon is 600+ current season
It probably should've been noted in the OP that this clan is a (US) clan. I believe Dfans has a (EU) clan as well, not 100% sure about that though. I'll reach out to a staff member here and confirm.

The only issue that might come from that is; Some people may decide to sit out a season, or conversely, wish to try a particular season. This would mean we'd have an issue with people feeling like they need to change clans just to accommodate trying either season or non-season.
The rub here is that the clan will always be full, and will not be able to accommodate everyone. What we don't want is to kick people who maybe have been on vacation, hard-pressed at work, having a baby, getting married, taking finals in school... or otherwise temporarily disposed. The clan shouldn't feel like a daily obligation, and people shouldn't be afraid to have some time off.
I feel the best way to approach the season/non-season conflict is through roster balance. More people seem to play seasonal, so it follows that more members will be seasonal exclusive players. Far less people play HC, so it follows that the clan should have less HC players than SC players (but still enough to provide a good grouping dynamic during peak hours).
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome, and this thread is a great place to put them.
Are you still accepting people? Would love to join! getting back into the swing before 2.3
I filled the last spot with a new-ish non-season player (they haven't accepted invite yet). Felt like we needed some new blood, as well as another NS player. Find us in-game by searching for our clan <dfans> and apply that way. If a spot opens up, I'll put you in first, since you used the forum to apply as requested.
Leave your battletag here (forum) so I know who to look for, and I'll do my best.
Just be patient everyone, and please don't take not getting in personally. If we could let everybody in, we would. 150 spots isn't as much as one might think for a clan with such exposure.
Hey all - just an FYI - there is a dfans community on the NA servers. I'll jump in there and keep an eye on it if anyone is interested in joining up. Since the clan max is at 150 - maybe this can be a good alternative if you would like to be able to find fellow dfans players easily - or if you are tied to another clan.
Let me know what yall think.

That's a great idea to post that here. We do, in fact, have an in-game community. A lot of folks in the clan have been using this through PTR so they can stay in touch with clan-mates that aren't on PTR at the time.
Just a reminder; To help us out, make sure to send a join request to the clan <dfans> in-game, that way I know who is who when comparing the wait list to the people in this thread. I currently have 12 people in line and 2 spots open with 2 pending invites. If they don't join up by tomorrow, I'll send invites to everyone that posted in this thread AND sent a join request in-game.
After that, it'll be first come first serve.
Bear in mind, after the season starts (maybe a week in) I'm going to start removing inactives of 3-4 weeks or more. Lots more spots should open up at that point, so please be patient and understand we always have a wait list.
After speaking with other officers and giving it some thought, I felt it best to regretfully purge some of the more inactive members. Several of them (after reviewing each profile on a case by case basis) just don't play much at all.
While we welcome "casual" players, the purpose of a clan, as well as the purpose of keeping a full roster, is to try and reach a point where there will be plenty of clan members on at any given time. With that I ask very casual players to not apply. By "very casual", I mean if you're only putting in a few hours a month, and you often don't play at all for many weeks at a time.
If you want in, and you're sure to be playing a reasonable amount, able to participate in the clan as an active member, now is the time to send a join request in-game. I'll hop back in very shortly and see who applied, and I'll add on a first-come first-serve basis.
We have several invites sent out already, so if you applied in-game in the last few days, log in and join if an invite was sent to you.
We'll try to keep kicks at a bare minimum until after Season 4 starts, but we want to balance this with entering the new season with a full, active roster.
Definitely looking to join dfans clan. Will be playing season 4 HC mostly but not exclusively. I should probably dump my old clan as Im the only member

FIxed Yup there is an EU <dfans> clan

Hopefully we'll see that happen soon. 200+ would certainly be better.

Nice! I'll be playing when the new season starts so I'll poke one of you guys for an invite when that time comes pending any open slots.

I'll just apply here and ingame to hope for the best Playing EU, HC/SC and Season
Large clan might also mean more spam on the chat window and make it difficult to engage in conversations.
On the EU clan are there any spots free?
That's a great idea to post that here. We do, in fact, have an in-game community. A lot of folks in the clan have been using this through PTR so they can stay in touch with clan-mates that aren't on PTR at the time.

Play both seasons and NS, and have both HC & SC chars.
