Be thankful that there really AREN'T that many clubs! We have maybe 100 at the most, but look at the NewGrounds club forum. I sh** you not, there are over FOURTEEN THOUSAND Clubs/Crews in newgrounds. Think of how many of them are duplicates or utter spam?
Now then, if you hate clubs, be thankful that we only have around 100, and not over 14k.
Why do people complain about clubs? They are for fun. If you don't like them then stay away from them and be quiet.
Because most of them are abandoned and there is no activity going on within them, so what the hell is the point of having them if the people who join do not stick to their commitment?
That's because the NG staff picks mods on a whim instead of taking their time to choose the best of the best that are able to do the job correctly. Instead, they act like a bunch of asses and not do a thing, and when they do, they feel bored and lock a bunch of threads, mad with power.
Of course, they think that clubs are fine there, never mind that some of them are completely random and spam-filled. It seems to me the only flash gaming site that has a meritable amount of organization and order is ArmorGames.
