Looking for dead/inactive clubs with 10+ members (plus people to potentially help out)

Sort:
F1-24

You read that right! I know, it's a weird ask; but I've had a few ideas (thanks to my good friends) on something I can do to enable members to have ownership/administrative opportunities in these clubs.

Here's the deal. If I find an inactive club and get admin or (even better) super admin or owner, then I'll be able to promote members and guide them through various aspects of being staff members. Since the club already has members (and a willing helper), it gives the staff something to work with, as opposed to creating and advertising a club from complete scratch. At its best, this idea creates a rewarding path to reviving a club and making great staff members (and perhaps owners), and at its worst the club will be regifted to someone else. 

That being said, you should really only give me clubs that the owner genuinely doesn't care about anymore, because I don't want to take over a club that has yet to live up to its true potential. There's no shortage of dead clubs that needlessly use up server space, and there's no shortage of members that are finding it difficult to hit the ground running.

Without further ado, post the club (and a link) in the comments!

Edit: We now have a club for this program; 5+ clubs have signed on. Here's the link for all: https://www.chess.com/club/the-aspiration-project

What is your admin experience?

Let's take a look... I'm staff in around 11 clubs, and own 3 of those. But I'm not a numbers guy, because it's quality that matters. I'm not going to create a resume or anything, but I feel like a program like this would greatly benefit me, inactive clubs, future owners, and chess.com as a whole. If you want to join in, please feel free! I'd love to have some more people on board happy.png

Sounds like an interesting project. I already have plenty of clubs.

Not to say that you didn't care about TCCC; I just was given this idea after what almost happened to it. I don't want it to happen to other clubs as well.

Hi!

VenemousViper

Look at my profile and you'll see a club called "Golden Knights Club". It has 7 members. I created it a week ago, but I'm really not interested in it. If you could take care of it that would be AMAZING. I will promote you to Super Admin as soon as you join.

Update: I've named it The Aspiration Program, and so far, 2 clubs are signed on. I'm in the process of creating an HQ club for the program right now. Everyone that's signed on so far likes the idea, and it looks like the potential is growing.

Send over the link if you'd like to join the project! This forum wasn't really meant for advertising; there's lots of places to do that.
