Hey Mods, I was thinking, and wondering if there whas any chance of the clans comming back. i realise that they where faulty back in the day (which was like, what? a month or two ago?
) but if someone could find a better way to operate them, new generic clan rules, and had an acual reason for them, you guys think it would work out?
i had an idea, but it wasn't very good (i dont think, anyway)
1)
Clans may have only one or two "private" threads that no one else can see
non-clanners can see these threads, but not post in them. the other "private" threads cannot be viewed by ordinary members. i dont personally like this idea, but it is in regards to the comment made (i dont remember by whom" about the old clans, how it is a "public site and members should have acess."
2)
Regular compitetions
I remember the last few clan challenges where actually kinda fun. however, they where a "good faith" thing, and you could just go to google and find the answer. thats not nice
but i think that with a few new competitions, the clans could be
very active
3)
Posting
every month, the total posts by the members of each clan could be totaled, and the winning clan awarded clan points (however, the only purpose that i know of for "clan points" is just to have the most
) it could even be set up so that posts which elicit an infraction takes away from the clan's points. this, i feel, could bring a lot more intelligent activity to AO.
there could be other rules, too, like the limit on members in each clan, and the limit of clans period. i think more than 4 clans would get a bit hariy, but i donno.
if anyone has any ideas, pleas put them forth. I, for one, would LOVE to see the return of the clans. That being said, i realise that the old clans where a bit flawed, but i hope that with some adjustments, they could become a reality once again.
