It doesn't seem important, but to these people the forging of the clan means something. Forging a new clan would feel like the old clan died. (Correct me if i'm wrong, people in question).
Besides, like i said, it's just a few extra clicks. Gotta be worth a try, and it's not a big change to the system we have. It might make people keep the clan going instead of disbanding it.
Re the dsc thing. It'd be the thread/post that's used as the clan page on the clan system that gets moved to clan discussion if they decide to go down the unofficial/revive route, which for the majority of clans has their roster, story etc. Basically what an unofficial clan has for the op of their thread.
If they choose their original clan discussion thread to use for the clan page then even better. However older clans didn't have things like that (they system to become official was different back then), so in their case there's no original thread to restore.
It's really not as harsh as people are making out it is, they only die completely after failing activity if they choose to. The clan guys will happily revert a clan to unofficial if that's what the clan decides. It even states in the "pending removal" thread posted in their boards that they can chose to revive the clan which would restore them as unofficial.
