I've done this on a few forums before and it was quite a hit. Since I see a lot of these newer clans popping up with poor web stuff I'm offering my experience and services for FREE.
I can install any forum software (that is free of course) for FREE on a subdomain @ www.btraill.com for you. (Example: thebestclan.btraill.com)
I am the most experienced with MyBB. I can install and configure any plugin you want, theme it/skin it for you, etc.
Example of MyBB: http://community.mybb.com/attachment.php?aid=18065
I can also do phpBB or any other forum package that you know of.
As for websites, if you just want a simple blog I can install Joomla or Wordpress. If you want something more sophisticated, I can work something out with you.
But please, remember one thing - this is done in my own spare time and for free, I can only do so much at a time. However, if you do need support afterwords I will continue to help you out.
Also, with this you will get your own FTP account to my webserver (with some restrictions, obviously) your own MySQL database (or a few) and a subdomain (or a few of them). I'm kind. :)
Thanks for reading!

EXAMPLES!

These were done extremely fast, just to give you an example!

Thanks for your "service" btraill
I hope you won´t lose the fun very soon to do it ... I know doing such things for friends and so on can be very frustrating :P

Setting up stuff right now as a base so you guys can see what can be offered.
Note: I'm not designing, or coding anything from scratch. Everything I do will either be a CMS, or an open-source package found somewhere on the net.
EXAMPLES:

Keep in mind that took only about 20-30 minutes to set-up and next to no customization was done!

That is quite nice of you. Hope it all goes well! Don't forget to upgrade certain CMSes yourself - we all know how exploitable Wordpress is all the time.

Sorry BunnySoul, I do not understand what you're trying to ask.
I will not dish out a free 9.95 to everyone who wants a .com domain, sorry.

.com domains are overrated anyway. .co.nr is where it's at :P

Many countries block .co.nr domains and .com is so universal you can't go wrong with it.

First one set-up! I did not do any logos as my graphic work sucks, however; I will still do graphics to the best of my ability unless you want to do them yourself. (I'm opening to learning and improving during this) Working on it more later.

Update: Tried doing a header image, not sure if it's any good. I will go through some tutorials.

*Upon looking at the fourms link above*
I kind of like Vanilla more than *BB when it comes to fourms. But I'm no php scriptor (yay python) or MySQL guy so I don't know which one is better on a technical level.
It does however look good, you did a good job.

Vanilla is quite simplistic and easy to use. But when it comes down to a gaming atmosphere, I find it lacks its ability to deliver.

Actually, before the AC Forum was changed to this trash software, this forum was running neatly on Vanilla. It was one neat forum ;)

Stop living in the past. Vanilla had almost zero on administration tools.
