"These are great ideas to celebrate BBF's 15th year of existence. I will help out to my fullest capacity, if you all wish. Paco and I did a lot of the organizing for BBF's 10 year anniversary. I can't remember much of it, but we would have liked a bit more involvement.
Here is what I dug up on the internet archive from 2010:
Happy B-day for BBF!
10 years today!
May marks BBF's 10th year of existence! The clan was formed on May 1st 2000 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada by the founders Hivemind and Chods.
BBF started with a few members who played StarTrek Armada and has officially supported over 80 games over the years, and well over 100 total with all the 'Just for Fun' games members have played.
Events:
Faces of BBF (Post your face for everyone to see) - viewtopic.php?f=17&t=12384
Get to know your Clanmate - Interviews have already been completed and will be posted in the clan news for all to see! Each week you should see a new member, and we'll continue this beyond May.

Can anyone who remembers these tournaments chime in to as how they did? I planned the L4D2 screenshot contest and the "Get to Know Your Clanmate" interviews. The L4D2 contest only had a few submissions but the interview posts were fairly successful (and helped boost chatter on the forums too).
Like others have said earlier, I think we have to include everyone (not just members) for this to work. A week, or a month of nightly events where you invite friends, family, clanmates, former clanmates, etc can really bring attention to the clan. We could play older games, current supported games, and F2P games.
Here is How I Can Help:
1) I want to do a couple of gaming nights (once or twice a month) leading up to May. Possibly more if it picks up steam quickly. I would want this to be open to clan members first, former members, and then friends if space permits. The first night would be Friday The 13th in March for Left 4 Dead 2. I could do my best attracting former members/ current (mainly through forums since I am not friends on Steam with most) to play. I used to be excellent at harrassing....errr...recruiting people to play L4D2 every friday night back when I led it. All we need is 8 players to fill a server. If more, start a second one.
The second night(say sometime in April), I would start a poll of an older or free game for everyone to play.
As I said before, I would do more or less of these depending on the response. However, I plan on organizing something for March's Friday The 13th irregardless. But it would be nice to have BBF's support and association with the event.
2) I will contribute my design skills if you guys wish. Whether it be graphics for forum posts, facebook posts, etc. I can help with the marketing of the anniversary events.
3) I can help organize the whole shin-dig. I helped organize the last milestone 5 years ago (10th year).
4) I may chip in for prizes if we have some wicked tourneys.
You have my mouse if you need it. I will follow Baptized by Fire into battle!
TILL ALL ARE ONE!"
