Dragon Ball

Hello All,

I would like to thank clan members, their leaders and others who have put time and effort into the clans. Unfortunately though, Mods and I have decided to close the clans.

I know for some of you this is rather devastating as it was your little hideaway behind safe walls. For others, it wont impact you at all. But for everyone, we hope the closure of the clans will pay dividends in the long run.

Some of the reasons why this decision was made are as follows:

• Dormant members being in clans
• Clans having empty forums within them
• Clans having discussions which should be made for everyone to see
• Inactive clans
• Unecessary distraction

Overall, we feel the clans have detracted discussion from the public forums. AO is a place where all can mingle with each other in the one community. Discussions behind closed doors offers no real benefit to the future direction of AO.

It's time to streamline things that don't give real value here. Less distractions and more quality / focused areas is what is needed.

The clans will close on December 14th, so feel free to continue using them until this date. After that, only the current clan members will be able to continue to view the threads within. Don't worry... I wont open them up for the world to see.

Feel free to post your feelings / thoughts on this closure. However, the decision is final.

Thank you.

Stream lined every thing to much takes away form making things fun and enjoyable for members to do when on the bored.Once the clan close i guarantee members that post in the clans and out wont come back on due to the clans being taken away.Like the bored needs the loss of any more members as is.

Like when the spam section was taken away,Almost half HALF of the members at the time left and did not come back because it was just no longer fun for any one to take part in.Plus it also had the nice effect of people getting to know one another better like in the clans we have now.As i see it its very beneficial to the bored and expanding friendships that my not normally happen talking in the regular forums.

Which in the long run makes for better posting and better quality post and discussion about topics and important matters at hand.So i do not see how its bad for the bored or members.If any thing that damn RPG section should get taken out its utterly pointless.
