1. Creating a club
You have to be at least a Level 1 to create your own club, and it costs 250 goMoney. You can own one club.
Define the club
When you're creating a club, you need to type in a name, description and some search words. They are important in defining what your club is all about, so give them some thought.
NB! You can't change the name of the club afterwards.
Search words
Search words are used by other models to find clubs that they are interested in. If you create a club for horse enthusiasts your search words could be something like horse, riding, animal, hobby, sport, etc. Enter only one word per line!
2. Designing and editing your club
You can do lots of things to make your club interesting. Here is a short description of how you go about editing your club.
Add new pages
In addition to the initial pages of your club (club home, forum, members and administration) you can add 1-5 new pages. It's done in the Edit club menu. Each page must be given a name or a title. You can decide if the page should be visible to all or just to members of your club.
Your pages are placed after the club front page (also called Club description) and can be arranged exactly as you wish by moving them up and down (there are buttons for this in the Edit club menu).
Design the pages
You can design how the pages look like. This is done under the Edit club menu. Click on the page you want to design and you'll be directed to the page editor.
Delete the club
If you decide to delete your club, go to Edit club and click Delete club.
3. Administration
There are several kinds of members in each club. Here you can get an overview of what they can do.
Owner
The owner is usually the model that created the club. The owner is the only one who has access to all features and rights in the club. The owner can do the following things:
- Add new pages
- Edit club pages
- Edit the forum
- Change club description and search words
- Accept/reject applicants
- Upgrade/downgrade members to and from manager and top manager status
- Ban existing members
- Read and write in all forum topics
- Delete the club
Of course, it is probably also the owner that defines the club rules.
Top manager
Top manager is the owner's right hand. The top manager will have almost the same control as the owner and can do the following things:
- Add new pages
- Edit club pages
- Edit the forum
- Accept/reject applicants
- Upgrade/downgrade members to and from manager status
- Ban existing members
- Read and write in all forum topics

Managers are "moderators" in the club froum. They're appointed by the owner or a top manager. A manager can do the following things:

Member
Club members are models that have been accepted into the club but have not been given any special rights. A member can read and write in the forums.
Non-member
Models that are not members of a given club can only read and write in the forum sections marked as public.
4. Club membership
Applying for membership
If you want to join a club you must apply for membership. It is then up to the club owner or top manager to decide whether to accept or reject your application. If the club accepts you, you will get a notification about it. You can cancel your application to a club if you change your mind.
You have three club memberships unless you have unlocked the bonus that allows you to have more than three.
