insaneooo pretty much nailed it.
In order to start a successful clan, you'll need some members to get it off the ground, a game server and preferably a voice server and a website. You can get free voice servers at
ClanVox. I believe the requirement is that you have at least 6 members. You can get free websites all over the place. The game server is your toughest obstacle, next to recruiting. If you're starting small, perhaps a 10 slot pub server would fit your needs. Probably around 30-40 bucks a month for that.
If you're not willing to provide for the server or put some serious effort into this, don't bother.
On another note, there's plenty of clans here to join.
