Hi folks,
After working on this idea over numerous sleepless nights I'm happy (and very proud!) to announce the next step for FLAN, Ferocitygaming.com
What is FerocityGaming and what happened to Florida LAN?
For the past three years I've been running the Florida Lan events a net loss even with using a percentage of entry fees. With this in mind I wanted to rebrand FLAN into something that could not just bring in income to fund the events but something that could benefit the community as well.
What are some of the things we offer?
Currently we only have mousepads to sell but in the coming weeks we will be adding in t-shirts with the Flanny logo, as well as Keyboards/Mice and Videocards. All these sales will go toward helping fund future events. We will also have content writers posting up weekly/bi-weekly articles regarding various games and competitive formats. At launch we have Whymeo and Voxdei, known for their writeups on Killer Exclusive, posting their weekly Highlander write-ups and youtuber Miss Moth will be posting up the occasional Overwatch article.
We are currently looking for Community Writers to add in more content for ESEA 6s and Overwatch, Eventually we will branch out to CS:GO. Community Writers will essentially be articles written by various members of the community regarding a wide-range of topics such as balance changes in patches, META, or even the current state of the game. If you would like to contribute an article please feel free to email me at miggy@ferocitygaming.com, once reviewed we can get it posted in the News page.
We will also soon be featuring a page of community streams we feel that bring quality content but don't necessarily get the amount of views they deserve. Think of it as giving the underdog the spotlight; More will be posted on this when the time comes. Lastly, we also set up a DM, MGE, and Map Rotation servers that are set up with a sourcebans page, IP logging, and anti-cheat plugins (as always, AC plugins aren't foolproof). This will allow us to help deter cheating and frequent alters from coming into the servers which is a common issue in other DM/MGE servers. Our ban page will be public as well so the community can see who got banned and why.
But what about FLAN?
Florida Lan is no more, going forward FLAN will be an abbreviation of Ferocity Lan. FLAN 2017 is still in the initial planning stages, updates will be posted on the site as they come. Once FLAN is formally announced we will be selling the tickets on site as well. Without making promises, currently we are looking at having the 2017 event be in either Chicago, Indianapolis, or even Philadelphia. Between FLANs we do wish to help out other community events, such as online tournaments, so you'll definitely be seeing more of us.
Being a member of this community for the past three years has been great and it really feels that a lot of my community contributions have led to this. Thank you all for the kindness, loyalty, and support. I'm really excited to see where we can take Ferocity Gaming from here.
Thanks again,

Ours doesn't show IPs. I hate cheaters but I respect privacy.
However, if any community server admins wants to add me up to give them IPs to do some alt checking I will assist with that.

I'll be directly honest, I could never see myself buying any product that said "we esports now" on it. Like it's equivalent to having your logo be "u mad bro?"

SprokMiggy, you Mentioned video cards, any hints on which cards they will be? I'm buying one fairly soon and would like to support the community.
I'm hoping to sell some new Nvidia cards and maybe one or two of the tried-and-true cards that can run TF2 with no effort without being overly expensive.
Before launching the site I knew that I wouldn't be able to survive as a company just selling mousepads and shirts. It's an ideal thought but those aren't things that everyone needs. So, how could I get gamer gear stuff that's needed without spending thousands upon thousands of dollars? Affiliate Programs.
I filled out a few applications to became an affiliate of various brands so I could sell their products and make a little commission. With this, my audience could get products they might actually need while I don't have to worry about things such as keeping & managing inventory, and shipping. Sure the commission I make from the sale isn't all that much but enough sales for these items do add up.
I don't plan on putting up any and all BS products to make a quick buck either. Just tonight I added my first affiliate product and only after extremely vetting 3 products and picking this one out. This is a procedure I plan to follow with any of the affiliate products that go on the site to make sure that you guys get the best deal I can get you. As time goes on I'll be adding more and more items to the site so I hope you guys stop by and check it out. Currently the only affiliate programs I have going on is Acer and Razer but there are a few other really good ones I signed up for.
Expect more to come
