Clans aren't getting boring. The idea of them is.

The people of the clan community that have been here for a long time have been saying things such as "the clan world is dying", when in reality, they're just growing up. I'm fifteen, and have only experienced two and a half years worth of clans, therefore I am not getting tired of them. Many of you are though, which doesn't confuse me, because you've been involved with them so long.

"Clans are all generic now".
They SEEM generic now, but they've always been this way.

"I think it is because people look back into history with nostalgia. Using nostalgia, they will claim it was better back than thus having the implication that the clans of the present are declining without no actual evidence to back up that claim"
This is what Spot thinks, and I fully agree with him. The past is behind us.

What I've learned over the two and a half years I've been involved with clans, is that persistence is key. People with great ideas start clans in hope that their dreams can become reality. They are soon shot down, because the clan is not instantly active, or no one seems interested. If you're going to lead a clan, be persistent.

Things that could improve the clan world and why are listed below:

1. Having only a couple allies.
- Seems strange, huh? Nah. Allies restrict the number of groups that a clan can go to war with. Clan leaders think that they should ally the good clans, and fight the bad clans. This is what needs to stop. Allies are good, yeah, but when you're allied to the majority of super clans, what's the point?

2. Attitude.
- The clan world is full of egotistical people. It's alright to be like that on the forums, but to be like that at forts as well is stupid. Clan places should be full of propaganda, not flame wars.
"But flame wars ARE propaganda"
No they're not. Propaganda is when you make speeches (not all leaders do this and they don't need to), or reciting the group's "war cry".

Ex: "Glory to Artillia!"

3. Making sure your members have decent knowledge of how clans work.
- If someone is just starting out in clans, they should be taught how raids, and trainings work.

-----------
I'm all talk, and I cannot make this happen, but figureheads of the clan world can. Sasook, GustFlame, Fruitbox, DrDrRoblox, imnotaguest, ISOLAYTOR, and other super clan/power clan/good clan leaders are the figureheads that can make the changes. I'm just putting things on the table.

I have not done anything very note-worthy during my clan career, so I must leave it up to the ones who have to put these ideas into action. I'm sure no one will even take this thread into account, as most of it has been said before, but one can hope.

Another thing is that clans need something new. Something that beings hope that there ARE other ideas that can be used for clans. Futuristic clans are all I see, along with a few modern-day, and country groups.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure that any of us can grasp a new idea, and bring forth a whole new era of clans. It's basically up to the mods. They've promised much, but have given us nothing. Instead, they dig us deeper into inactivity. Price floors have made a lot of clans exclusive due to the prices of uniforms. Two weeks to buy one uniform isn't worth it.

It's been a long day, and writing this at 3:00 AM wasn't fun. I don't even know why I did, to be honest. I guess it's due to what was running through my head at the time I began writing this.

Even better theory:

2013 was the year Roblox focused on game development and establishing a better platform for game developers

Roblox games are a competitive category against roblox clans

Clans remain the same whereas games have improved significantly

People are no longer interested in clans as they're interested in games

SPQR is living proof as the only clan that hits the front page, and they have a game oriented place

This is true, Neo. However, things have been promised. The features on the site should not have to compete with other features. I'm not sure if it was the site's features you were talking about, but if they were, then yeah.

No, I'm talking about development of games. Adding a tycoon model and configuring it to your idea used to cut it. Now you can't do that anymore; the standard has gone up.

Not with clans though. The only clan with proof of concept that's doing anything revolutionary is SPQR.

You guys completely lost the point of what a clan is. Whatever happened to Summer 2013 Sigma which actually had a community and clan activity? Essentially what you guys are trying to do is make a game and put a group stamp on it.

If clans are futuristic why would we be gun fighting each other? (This is according to lore.) An example is VAK. I'm pretty sure VAK rallies in a drop ship. Instead of sending soldiers onto a planet why not just use the ship and obliterate everything. My idea for futuristic clans is instead of gun fighting we would fight we space ships like in Star Trek but I guess this would really hard for it work and it would kill RCL and gun fighting.

Not at all, Ben.

@Darth
We consider them futuristic due to tech and lore. Lazor guns may be in development in real life, but we've considered them "futuristic" forever.

To be honest, I think that the clan world would be thriving if the clan world had more builders,artists,etc. since there are very few as there used to be.
