They were a success in my opinion. They allowed members to get involved and feel like they were part of the community - that's one of the goals of SSD right, to help people become more involved? Also, it allowed people to learn from people who had lots of experience and create new twists on certain styles. I personally enjoyed the clans last summer. I think they'd make a great comeback.  |

I liked them. I thought they were an excellent idea, and I dont know why they were taken down. I think they should be brought back because I would like to be in one.

activity dropped. that is the reason it was taken down. two active clans really. if they were to be brought back, i think that it should be how F5 does it. a new clan is set up everytime there is need for one. if enough people sign up in a registration thread, they get a leader and make a clan. people cant create their own clans like they used to be able to. also, each clan would have their own password protected board for they can talk about what needs to be done.
clan battles would need to happen regularly as well. not "so and so clan challenges so and so clan", that can happen but i think that ssd needs to get a staff member to create regular battles. you could have battles like you used to with a member of each clan facing another member or you could do a huge collab or a forum skin or something like that.
i think it would be a lot to do but i beleive that that would be the only way that they could be succesful once again.

I agree. A revamped clan system would be good. However, I dont think people should choose who they would go against, people might dodge certain people and try to take out the "weaker" members to stay in the competition. I believe a system where a third neutral party takes the roster of participating members from each clan, scrambles them and picks one at random from each clan to create a match up. That would be the fairest route to go. |

It was an unorganised mess except for a one or two clans. The problem is a lot of people couldn't really design anyway and just joined for the sake of it and sat there recruiting people who did nothing. However, we may do something similar again. Can't really give too many details about that at the moment  |

Oliver, is it possible that I could start my own recruitment thread for a clan in designer's lounge to see who would be intrested?

We probably wont see it for another month or so. |

No one wants to commit to clans- it was a mess. People made clans and got members who would drop out of their last clan within a day's time and join another. You can't make clans that way - and it's pointless to try to make a moderator enforce the month-before-leaving rule in such a large forum.

Well to limit the amount of people who actually don't know how to do anything, there should be like a tryout to enter a clan. And a punishment for clan hoppers.

Set limits. 5-10 People to a clan, if you can't get enough, you're out. If your clan is unactive for a 2 weeks, you are deleted. Lay down the law, I would love to see the board back. |

Why? We set up clans outside SSD and it never worked, don't see how it'll work this time around
