Lately we've been doing this with FCoB (primarily T13) and it's been going fairly well. While there aren't as many people starting parties as we'd like, there are still numerous people willing to join (in confidence) whenever asked. In other words, the number of people who can perform in FCoB has risen pretty substantially, but the number of people running these parties has not.

The SCoB linkshell ended up flopping because people expected me (or my static members) to make parties for them. They never really tried to make parties on their own (which was the second objective of the LS). The confidence never really developed in the player-base. The number of people asking for clears outnumbered those asking to learn fights, after being specifically told the LS was for learning, not clearing. So we stopped doing it altogether (this was after helping a large number of people).
