As such it still does not strike me as unlikely that I, aswell as missuse, and surely other concerned parties, who spent hours looking for that information several hours prior to it being made public. I have yet to see why a decision where made prior to the grounds of it being posted. (In this case the new take on clan inactivity.)
Also, as far as I remember, No announcement of these changes were made to the respective maintainers of clans at this point, may I ask why? May I right-out ask if this were in an ill attempt to backstab those who do not tend to revisit stickies containing forum rules without being notified of such changes?
Does that mean you didn't read the previous rules?
Here's a link to Fish's set from Jan 28th 2011
That set predate your clan being official by a couple of months, so you've read them right?
*Official since Feb, 2011 according to the system - however the real date was March 27th
Here's the relevant section:

If that rule was there in plain sight 4 year ago then we can't be backstabbing you with a sudden Gynx related change. Rest easy.
However JR are from before you lot though which gives a slight problem... I did a hunt for Delaid, Hamr & Manbreakfast's rule threads, but alas it seems theirs were killed at some point a couple of years ago.
Regardless, the rule was there back then too. It was there when my clan was made official in 08, it was there before then, it was there afterwards.
Nothing changed in that regard.
Look in the dead clan area and you'll see clans that predate JR were killed for inactivity - a few with their final moments way back in 07. Gotta love history.

Your clan, I take it you mean Hung reborn aka fl0w? I'm pretty certain the original dates back to 3 or so years prior to that. And if it matters i believe i officially joined Hung in 2010, Dec(?).
"If an explanation isn't provided within a week" is what I remember existing in that line of the rules-text when it came to inactivity, am I wrong?
Now doing recoloring for people not in the clan as-well, PM for more info!

When it came to ingame & IRC specific clans "harsher" was an understatement.

This is just getting childish. Oldies making drama because their obviously inactive clan is officialy deemed inactive. You're still all on the same planet and connected to the internet with a shitload of ways to communicate among yourselves. If you still have some interest for the game, revive your clan and give it the means to be active, or make a new clan with other oldies.
You had fun with Toribash for all those years, and if you can't undestand a community based multiplayer game needs some community maintenance for its own sake, and forgive it for that, you're being pretty immature, or selfish.
edit : a game needs to live, not cherish the old players like special snowflakes at the cost of its own image.

Well not happily, but I would accept and I wouldn't harass the clan council for unnecessary explainations ; because I like playing Toribash no matter what and we prepared for the eventuality we'd become too inactive in the eyes of the Clan Council, as we had some pretty quiet periods... but we're still active and kickin' afterall.
When you make/join a clan, it's pretty clear from the start that activity is a condition for the clan to exist, even 5 years ago, it has never been a big secret.
Edit : about fl0w, we do have 9~10 ingame active members scattered in different time zones, we're 4 or 5 around the same timezone playing pretty much daily. There isn't one week passing without a few messages on the forums. If the clan council checks our secret forum they can see we're still doin' community stuff, planning eventual events, people still apply, and we still accept new recruits, and we're not even forcing it, we're even considering ourselves lazy... it's just that we still have some interest for the game. So yeah, that'd be weird to be marked for deletion
