Expansion/Alliances

So I have been reading about alliances and such. I was thinking that we could possibly expand into "sub clans" likes Dads of Destiny did. This will simply allow more folks to wear the DOGS clan tag. What we might need is for a few members to form these clans based on our guidelines and then we can direct those interested in joining, to there and they will get their clan tag. We add the new sub clan to our alliance, and boom. More DOGS. I'm going to do a little more research on alliances first, but I think this may be a good way to expand. Any input? Should we stay smaller?
