From Faint

SO it seems that being a so called staff clan protects a clan from being deemed dead. That some of the members just doing their jobs is an excuse for activity. As Haxx said we can get a rough idea of activity from events like the Clan Siege, which NO has only really been discussed by Mwah and Tribe doesn't look to prepared either. Many members have pressed forward this argument, why would you even need to kill Urban. Why not just let it kill itself?

Referring back to what Hatt said, absolutely. Up to black belt, Nuthugs work was a driving force and inspiration to me, because of that I tried so hard to get decent at Toribash so that I might have a chance at getting into RAWR. While, overtime, things changed, and I made Toribash friends, I still had that driving thought to become great so that I might stand up to some of those greats at some point. And a single clan impacted me THAT MUCH, and I couldn't have been the only one. Hatt said they impacted him as a Player too, and absolutely, they should be granted a legendary clan Status.


My closing statement is: Anyone, or any clan, can completely change the way players think about Toribash, and drove them to become as good as they can be, should never be taken down.

it's not based on forum activity alone.

people who aren't active on toribash as a whole will be removed, not because they do not spam their board enough.

dead clans cannot be posted in, which i think is the point.

anyone can smalltalk within clan boards, that doesn't mean they should be able to if it's only being used for topics unrelated to toribash, hence being a toribash clan

I don't see the use in deleting semi-active clans, urban and RAWR are both functional, they still post, and some of them even get in game sometimes. They aren't clogging up the forums, I don't understand why Gynx is in such a rush to get rid of them.

If Gynx really wants to kill old clans that badly he should make a legends thread for clans. Maybe list some notable members and clan achievement, since they are "legendary."

Just a quick question, where can one read up on these things that both Gynx and Faint claim people haven't read up on?
Give me as much as possible, because I am truly interested in the topic, both in question and in general.
I'm fully aware there's implications and rewards for certain actions when dealing with a big amount of people like this, I know from just leading a clan, it makes sense that there's a bit of "science" behind it, but I have a hard time imagining it somehow concluding in what's being done in this case being the optimal decision.
If there's some further logic behind it though, educate us, since people clearly don't get it.
I think everybody here would be willing to change their opinions if presented with some actual reasoning.
As of now, although be it only one case, I still think it's unjustified, and if you insist it is justified, then I'd say the standards are in need of change. Either or.

I'd really like to stress how much I like the idea of legendary clans as a solution, I encourage someone with a bit more time to expand upon the idea and make a proper thread for it in the suggestions board.
I'm certain that it can be done in a great way if the right people get working on it.

why should there be "legendary clans" when there are already "toribash legends"

clans are not whats popular, face it, you didnt even know who all the members in urban and rawr were in the first place.
clans are popular because people are exposed to people like nuthug/numbers' replays upon installing this game. the people who ACTUALLY contributed to this game enough are rewarded accordingly, and people who are older members arent entitled to a forever living clan

Finally.
The question that so many has been asking since the thread was made is answered.
"Why remove them?"
This is the reasoning that I was looking for, not the math behind figuring out who's active or not. Props to Zelda for being able to word a question better than me.

I can feel that once you've now explained the actual reason on why you should be removing even the great clans, the need for untouchable ones stagnates.
However, Nuthug's post leaves me somewhere in the middle on the issue of whether it's joust in this case alone, though I have nothing left to say on that note.

I'd just like to end with some more thoughts on a possible solution.
Personally I have never heard of, or know anything about, for example [ToriGod], other than them being a clan at some point.
It might be a sound idea to consider a Legendary rank only for dead clans, meaning that no clan is untouchable and the goals you're trying to accomplish would still be met.
People would still have their "historical" clans to go check on, be it only once they're dead. From where I see it this is better and more realistic than what was presented earlier.

I think it would work for the newer clans to remake the old clans, I remember I needed a certain clan tag that was already taken, We can take advantage of this situation, But I'm also against the fact of removing clans that are still together but not as ingame active.
