I've noticed that the majority of Alliances...

Don't just join random alliances u know nothing about. Open battleclinic killboards and start checking out the top 1000 corps/alliances and how much kills they do in a week/month. When you find something cool, find more about them and join their fleets to see how they roll / what kind of ppl they are etc.

I'm not even in a alliance and our corp does about 500-1000 kills each month. I would say that's fairly active.

(Sorry for the forum-alt, but didn't want this to sounds like an recruitment ad)

go pvp with your m8's and do well against an alliance that is active...then your alliance will be active. Heck, you might even get an invite...

I like RnK too (except when they drop caps on us)

Alliances are only ever as active as their members, don't like whats happening organize a gang yourself, I'm probably the worst person to talk here I live in Australia but am in a predominately EU corp/Alliance, half the time when I log in I'm the only one in alliance chat. Pull together group of people and lead your own gang, I don't like the pressure of FCing I do it sometimes. If your not prepared to step up and lead how can you expect others to organize pvp ops for you? Especially if your not a complete noob you should at least know the basics about which ships to call as primary etc.

A good place to start is with t1 cruisers get a few people with you and lead em into syndicate/curse etc have some fun and die gloriously repeat a few times them do it in battlecruisers before long you might even be winning some fights.

The main reason alliances seem so inactive is because ungrateful people like you expect people to run gangs for them day in and day out and then complain when the FC looses a fight they didn't really have a hope of winning anyway (Hi R&K dropped anymore faction BS's in Syndicate during the last week?).

FC's play the game to have fun and can only put up with this nonsense from people like you so much every week and not get burned out and so that's why you only ever see 1 or 2 gangs advertised every week.

Probably because it is bloody hard and extremely exhaustive to run a corp (and alliance)(In my case low-sec), which is one of the reasons we are more or less inactive atm. (In my case = burned out - running things every single day for hours upon hours, fc'ing, diplomacy, issues, and all the other crap takes it's toll)

Tempting to start again though now...
