You are very correct in that assumption. To be entirely honest with my intentions, I'm more or less giving them a shot; if they can actually bring in a decent number of members for us to filter through, and there are no negative comments surrounding them, then I would be willing to keep them even if they don't use the forums. It's been too short of time to judge if they are liars that just want to be in [Elite] for the notoriety or if they legitimately want to help.

On another note, I'm not sure how to approach member acceptance in regards to forum activity these days. Now that Toribash is integrated into Steam, I feel like a lot of players don't have the drive to use the forums, and forums are just kind of a dying tool, unfortunately. So on the one side, I only want forum-active people because that's how I (and many of us) like to play the game, but on the other side there are plenty of cool people that just hate using forums. IDK, as it stands I'm probably going to enact some required forum activity, but I want to do that once we actually have events, in-game meetings, or SOMETHING that would warrant forum activity. Right now, the only reason anyone would be checking into forums is to see what's going on with the clan revamping or to shoot the shit with all of us delinquents. That's fun and interesting and whatnot, but it's not as exciting or enticing as other things would be.
Just another thing to think about moving forward, methinks.
