Removing historical clans - rip
So I just saw this, meaning that they're removing all the, dare I say, legendary clans in Toribash.
I'd like to quote what one of the members of RAWR posted in the thread linked above, since it's a good argument.
What are the community's opinion on this? Is Clan-mods taking this too far or is it about time?
Edit: This is a discussion thread, please don't get this closed by shit-posting without any real arguments.

we've been a clan for almost 8 years now ffs. We lurk around, post when we need to, and play when we can. For a game so community driven like toribash you guys seem awfully happy to break ours apart. Based on Gynx avatar he even seems to take a bit of pride in it.
If you do decide to kill RAWR then thats a shame, it was really the only thing that kept me coming back to this place after all these years.
Oh by the way..Toribash has about 3.5 million registered users. At the time I am writing this there are <500 people online. the irony here is killing me.

I saw that and also this from the alien's 2nd inactivity warning/removal, which also has a point to it;
to be honest I'd say doing this is driving away the old players who come back to the forums/in-game to converse and catch up with their old friends, on occasion when they have the time.
I don't really see what harm they are doing in being less active, since a percentage come back for the clan league anyway, it's not like they post once every 6 months..

Explain please the criterions of your taking such decisions.
Frankly speaking i do not understand what you really expect to see. Most of us are 20-28 years old, we study and work, some of our members are in the army now.
The main idea of the clan is to develop the international relationship, cooperation and communication. According to this i would like to tell that we correspond that kind of standards. We are quite active in communication on forum.
We all began playing this game long time ago and at that time the game as a whole was norm but nowadays we understand that nothing has hreatly changes and that's why most of us are not active in game. But that doesn't mean that we cannot stay as a clan anymore. Much can be said about lot of such clans ( and the most famous is as we all know MAD) It would be unfair if you close the first russian speaking clan.
Please take this into consideration.

Maybe they are, I don't know. Perhaps it won't since Hampa is in it but I can really only guess.

Unjustified removal
This is completely stupid even if they don't post as much it does not matter. They are active but they have so many active members. Even alot of members that are important too the toribash community. The fact that they post outside their own board more than they do inside shows their activity even more. The more they get involved with community the better the name they make for their clan. I think they only see their clan board as important topics related too the clan, not some area where you post nonstop. Other clans post too get too know their own members and talk with each other but every clan has different ways. RAWR is more mature than most clans and it is ridiculous that they even have the thought of considering them dead when they do so much in this community.
Also i'd like too bring up another fact that literally within an hour of Gynx making the thread pronouncing RAWR "dead" RAWR members post (In their board) arguing that it is unjustified. If they were dead then it would take atleast a week for a RAWR member notice that thread.
