Although I dislike how a while ago many of the clans listed on the board had no activity on their clan thread and would not even give a response to PMs sent to their leaders (maybe an application or something), I also think that when there is still some life to be squeezed out of a clan or if it is still meaningful to the individuals in it then it isn't really worth shutting down. Sure threatening to close clans if they don't try harder can end up benefitting some of those clans in the long run, but I feel like the same number of clans might also be deleting meaning that the members no longer have a meet-up point or common ground with each other and that that clan, historic or not, has no hope of someone coming along and saving it.
This is exactly why i suggested that clans will simply lose their official status instead of getting deleted. If you don't have enough activity to fill a board you shouldn't have one.
E: Oh yeah sorry if i was unclear. I'm not very good at explaining myself.

Sorry I wasn't quite certain what your post meant before and didn't really spend the time to properly understand it because I was preoccupied with whether the checks are actually so clearly a good thing. I apologise for not giving your suggestion the credit it deserved, that was kinda shitty of me.
I (as you might have guessed) think that that system would certainly be worth running through the council since it would seem more fair and unbiased when it came to checks while still maintaining a high standard of activity for official clans.
Good morning sweet princess

Urgh i hate typing on phones.
I was going to quote your "suggestion" for this but it's late and I'm tired and this was on the last page.
What you're suggesting is already an option, well not in the exact words you used, but yeah. I'll briefly go over how they'd do it.
k so clan fails a check, does nothing about it & fails the second check. They're then given a week to decide what to do: die, or "revive" - the latter doesn't have to be immediate however.
Reviving as per the clan rules (go read for the specifics) would allow them to give it another go starting as an unofficial clan with the same tag.
They can then aim to be official again which would regain them their old board - which is why boards aren't killed & tags aren't set free.
Both RAWR and Urban could go down that route if they decided to.
So yeah, that pretty much hits the meat of your suggestion.

Sorry guys but i actually agree with Gynx on this. its always been the norm for clans to be active then to have either a really sudden death or a very slow bleed out.
Toribash isnt the only game that has this sort of experience lots of clans die for many different games. And as much as i look up to the members of urban and rawr (especially urban) and it will be a shame for these clans to vanish. Its only fair, i mean maybe the staff of Toribash would be kind enough to archive these clans as not only do i think there worth being remembered but also wouldn't this show the new clans some good examples of clan management... up until death that is.

Have you guys considered that activity isn't the best bonding agent within clans? This has the chance of going the way of Raid, who were extremely active for like a year then die because people aren't held together by anything other than that activity and brief friendship.
I think clans should be allowed to decide when they themselves will die, as opposed to being forced to accepting it. It leaves a lot of room for bitterness and takes away closure.
