Anyone wonder what the deal is with some of these gigantic rockstar aproved crews? One of our xbox members is also a member of mp3 and tmc. So i thought i would look and see what they have going on...one of them has over half a million members but less than 20 created tracks and none of our guys stuff is showing. Makes me wonder if they dont allow sharing or something only they do have almost 700k snapmatic photos.

Makes you wonder what the point of it is. 500k members basically means they're almost all complete strangers rather than a community, no real identity as far as I can see.
Does explain why these MP3 guys keep popping up.

I was part of MP3 cos my friend was. I had no idea what it was until he explained that his friend invited him etc..
It's a bit unfair for the ratings if you ask me though, because if we're all limited to 300 members (I think) and they'e got half a mil how are we supposed to compete with their scores?

This is something that bugged me too, particularly as R* dont give any direction on if its possible to extend crew size if a crew reaches the maximum numbers... I think we get on avareage about 2-4 requests per day from people wanting to join RRR1

Those crews are Rockstar Verified(paid off) Crews, in other words. Companies or Business' contact R* and authorize a crew for them. Websites mostly, like Raptr and Machinima use these functions. They have unlimited membership. I do not think they count towards Crew rankings in a real sense of the word.
The highest rated Crew right now has around 128 members in it, at least it was about a couple weeks ago. It is a German based Crew if I remember correctly.
The MP3 Crew is a generica Max Payne Crew.

On that subject does anyone know where we stand in the rankings? I think grnd May be right that these "verified" crews dont count in the rabks, would hardly be fair

As it stands right now. It looks like if you choose Crew Ranking from our Crew page(where you will see your overall rankings) and choose Race from the menu on the right, MP3 is at the top currently. I think I remember somewhere, probably on the system itself, is a true ranking. That is where you will see our crew ranking as a whole and not just PSN/Xbox specific ranking. The website does not bring up as many stats as it does from within a console itself.
Currently in "race" these are the top 8
Payne Killers (MP3) carried over from Max Payne 3
IGN (IGN)
Los Santos Banger (LSB) i have no idea who this is but they have 195,000 members
Red Dead Rustlers (RDR) carried over from Red Dead Redemption
Zombie Cowboys (ZBC) I am assuming it is another one brought over from Red Dead
The Midnight Club (TMC)
Manhunt Executioners (MHE) Carry over from Manhunt
G4 Crew (G4TV) Crew similar to IGN.
Essentially they are just huge crews that Rockstar created to promote VS matches and for other companies like IGN and G4.

I joined a random race before and it put me in a lobby full with IGN crew.
They were useless, ramming and swerving into each other straight off the start.....was an easy few wins though

They are essentially crews for the lonely to join so they can experience the games as a crew.
In regards to tables R* splits the rankings as based by player numbers (DDZN are currently in the 50 - 100 members pool) within this pool we are rated Number 1 in MP3 hardcore DM & GW and around number 27 in GTAV DM's also if any of you own RDR check the leaderboards for Hardcore matches and we have 23 players in the top 30 list on both DM and CTB.
Told you we were a shooting crew !!
