The community manager for DICE says in this post that he wants to post about gaming communities in their blog. Here is the text of the post:

Hello everyone!

If you would like to tell people about your community, write an article and I'll feature this on our blog. I will usually try to post 2 of these each week so we have a lot of time to add new content .

What I ask of you is an article that tells us a little bit about:

- The history of your community
- How many members
- What goals and ambitions do you have?
- What kind of new features do you have? (Podcasts, Media-gallery etc..)
- How widespread is your community? Is it linked to Ytube, twitter etc..
- How are you getting ready for BF3?


Be creative! There is no limit to how long the article can be but don't make it too short.

Also include some pictures from gatherings, LAN's and your logo!

Submit your article in this section

I nominate Camo to write an article about our community to be presented to DICE. Any one else that would like to give it a try feel free. Camo has written some excellent blog entries and game reviews and I think that he will do us justice. I write for a living and really have no interest in doing it especially after this week at work. Plus Camo is an out-of-work, shiftless dredge on society with nothing else better to do. If camo refuses, which I know he won't, and no one else does it, I will. I think this is the best opportunity to get our name out there that we have had yet. So, let's jump on this and do it well. I think that we can all contribute to editing to make it a nice piece. Remember, you can never write anything well, but you can rewrite it until its perfect.

I might take a crack at it, maybe we should make it a collaboration with input from everyone.

Ultimately I envisioned camo or whoever posting a draft here. I am excellent at correcting and rewriting for sure. So, I am very willing to help in that regard.

I made some edits on your edit please check them out and implement if you agree. Pete's version is the better in my opinion. I guess it does pay to go to college huh.

What I meant is that it's worth it to go to college; that it benefits you in some ways.
