** READ ME ** How do I join SPIDER?, Steps to becoming a member

Here at SPIDER, we have a pretty simple policy for membership.

How to become a member:

1. Join us on our Ventrilo server. This is open to the public. (See SpiderGaming.org for details)

2. Game with us. Speak to the registered players (look for the [SPIDER] tag) to arrange an ad hoc session. Else, come game with us during our regular weekly events as a guest. These are also open to the public.

3. If you have a good time and want more, contact me (Zimtok5) and ask me to register you as a member. I will take you through a few short steps to do this.

As a registered member, you will have access to the private sections of our forums and be tagged in the Ventrilo server as a member. That's all, it's that easy!

Alternatively, if you're a bit shy or the above steps aren't for you, just e-mail me on zimtok5@gmail.com and introduce yourself. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. If the glove fits, I'm positive we'll get you started with our welcoming community in no time.

Kind regards,

Brad

If you don't already have Ventrio, it is a simple voice chat system similar to Team Speak. You will need a microphone and speakers (or a headset).

1. Download and install the client from here: http://ventrilo.com/download.php
2. Connect to the server: vent.spidergaming.org:7454
3. Set your username to your gamertag, and leave the password field blank.

If you join us, you will get a password that will add the clan-tag to your username. There are a bunch of other settings, but we'll help you with those once you join us!

Cheers,

Here are the basic 4 steps I run through with new SPIDERs:

1. Ventrilo - Basic access, gets you your [SPIDER] tag.

2. Forum - Register as user, gets you into the private parts of the forum (XXX-rated, obviously).

3. Steam - Add you to the SPIDER group, so you can see who else is gaming.

4. Games - Set you up on Minecraft, APB, or whatever other active games there are.

That's it. This setup normally takes about 5-10 mins per player and is how we turn you from a normal 2-legged human being into an 8-legged killing machine.

I think my forum is broke... I don't see no XXX-Rated

only for those that are worthy Dave

For new members, I recommend you read the dedicated 'Join' page on SpiderGaming.org.

Also, please note that we do not approve new forum users until they have registered with us. Feel free to sign-up ahead of registration, but you still need to submit the form on this page:
