No hostillity interpreted in any of the posts, none intentially expressed, all very constructive an positive.
I hear where you both are coming from. I really do.
I formed the 501st group here in BC and when we started out small, I saw the same issues
I am a bit polar opposite of you Serim, I'm probably the oldest here with the most experience trooping.
To answer some of your points;
We do have, an belong to a clan, "Hett'ciri", granted most of the membership is in Alberta, and Sask.
This forum is provided for all levels of membership to, ask questions, gain assistance, and to express themselves, transferring and the inclusion of other popular media outlets dillutes the flow of communication, an information can be lost, when the leadership needs to post important information.
The forum is designed to be the nexus, a place to inform and keep all members together, the use of popular media alternate outlets dilutes, and seperates the group or family cohesion many members desire.
I understand and see the benefits of a FB site used as a PR tool, but Hett'ciri already has a Group, and there is a conflict if we create a Group for BC and we are as yet still not our own clan. Permission from the leadership may also be needed.
There is a very thin difference of opinion in your statement of wanting to organize the BC membership into forming a clan, and the creation of the clan itself. To do all the leg work and not be acknowledged in it's creation would leave myself a little jaded.
The Hett'ciri FB group is also offical members only, a suggested incentive to bump up your status, or you can start a thread in the Hett'ciri forums to petition the inclusion of lower level membership into the FB site.
I am not sure where you live Serim, but I understand it may be in the interior. If so you are not alone.
The 501st has grown in membership in BC, and have several members in the interior, an North of Victoria on Vancouver Island, to be sole Mando Merc is unfortunate in your region, and no immediate comrades can be disheartening, but I encourage you to meet some of the 501st memebers, that may be in your area, many are talented, and good people to hang with, there may be activities you can participate in, with those members who may be in your area.
@ Zophar many costumes generates many distractions I know the feeling, I have a..... few as well

I can't really understand how you have no incentive to become offical and yet you wish to contribute to the group, your potential contributions would be most benefical to all.
In the end the motivation to become "Offical" is up to the individual, however, please understand;
Without the tag, you cannot "expect" to have full rights an entitlements; you don't have a vote, or a say in policy making within the group (which includes PR like FB), nor will you be authorized to form a Clan in BC (no point in thinking of names or creating logos), or be included into offical events/activities either locally or abroad.
