Looking to join with some like Minded / Skilled individuals to increase my already growing Strategic Knowledge. Currently using a personal doctrine of Airforce AA and SParty that seems to roll most. HMU! 
Best advice I can give you is to go onto the alliance rankings and go through the top alliances that are active and join them.
The average alliance,mid-ranking and lower are usually "dead".It does have members but there is no chatting,the members are active daily but there is no communication no alliance matches, you are just part of an alliance.
Most players join an alliance but they do nothing there,they just play their own personal games.
We had new people that joined us weeks/months ago, I have never seen them in the alliance chat
