What is the incentive for these checks being in place, anyway? Right now there's only, what, 1 or 2 boards that are totally dead... so what's the point in de-officialising clans, thereby removing their board? I don't see the harm of the boards being there and the clans staying official. If the game were actually alive, I'd see the importance, but in its current state - dead, or getting there - I just don't understand.

What are the disadvantages of completely removing checks for a while?
