i personaly think that this is irrational
just because they dont knwo where the thread is they get kicked?
im sorry, i just dont think having only 5 members will work out for us : \

5 members sounds like too little...

However, personally I think the other members aren't actually contributing to the clan.

This is a complicated decision. If it did go ahead we'd need to either start recruiting lots of players again or... maybe organise a fusion of our and another clan?

A fusion could be good
But names would be a problem
Like if we fused wit a clan called "Bob" for example, would we be IBOBN or something?

XD No...

If there was a fusion of clans, either we'd become a completely new clan or one clan would 'disappear' and all of its members would go to the other clan.

Exactly, there would be a big thing of. Well We're a better clan so we should have this name, NO we're a better clan and we want this name. And so on and so forth, we're stuck between a rock and a hard place here......

If it comes to that then a new clan could be formed with the members of the two old clans.

which is why i think that moving them to the inactive section makes more sense, plus, its easier

It is much easier, I agree.

However, I feel that this clan is losing power/dying from lack of members...
Any ideas people?

OK, i get it, so we wouldnt have to mix names .etc.
I think a fusion would be OK, dunno bout evryone else. Cos we would have more avtive members, plus we could do more clan stuff if we had more people...
