Very understandable indeed.
In my eyes there are 2 types of clan for me personally. Major clans and Minor Clans.
I was involved with ultimate and they shaped who I am as a person today; I remained with them for 6 months. I only left upon noticing that the leader had grown corrosive towards me; he did not like me anymore. So I did not feel welcome. For my loyalty I held a significant figure of power in that clan and was about to be made co-leader (I think) but it wasn't enough. The family vibe was gone. I had to leave; Suck then joined ultimate and I'm sure he knows how inactive it became... I loved seeing him in there as he brought some activity, it was a little bit sad seeing 2-3 posts in a row were all him.
Family was my 2nd major clan; I loved that clan... So much, I still do. I remained loyal until the bitter end. I, again for my loyalty was awarded with the role of leader. This was just because how active I was and how much I loved the clan, family will always be deer to me. When it was disbanded I didn't know where to go, the members were my friends. My "family". They knew absolutely everything about me and supported me through everything. Tint and Family were always tightly knit, Family members in the tint skype group and vice verca. So logic dictated it was there I should go next. After trying and failing for tribe which I thought at the time was a hopeless en devour. I swallowed my pride and headed for Tint. I like the members, I don't like the clan atmosphere. So I left it shortly after joining. I'm still in close contact with all the members but it wasn't the place for me. After floating around for a few days. Tomwanks asked me to join (v), so I did. I disliked it though, the tag didn't suit me and I didn't get on with the members so i left right away.
Which leads me to now.
