But threads will die out. People would never see that thread then and know that other people are interested. Clans pretty much last forever.
If people keep them alive, at least.
As with threads, just without the threat of being banned for necroing, I guess.
...Is that meant as a insult?
It was meant as an observation. A simple difference between "I am nice" and "I try to be nice", which shows that you might not generally consider yourself a nice person, that you might not always be nice, or that you sometime have a hard time being nice. If you had said "I am nice to all people", then you would have ignored the bit of struggle you might have with being nice to some people, while the "I try" gives off a sense of weakness in the nice-facade.
Generally, it's like when I use "might" instead of "are" or something. It just leaves a margin for error, showing that it is not always like that.
So, no. A voiced observation.
Which I guess is also in tune with the rest of your reply. I guess another way of wording your opinion would be that you do not discriminate between groups, but rather that you react towards behaviour rather than grouping.
Or something similar and not said late in the evening.
Oh, and after checking Kevin's profile, I find this:
what is a clan anyway
somewhat ironic, considering the
Member of the DualSpark Clan
in his about.
So, while I will still request he goes checking the rules, let me explain what we are talking about here (which might also sort out some of the trouble here):
Clans (and clubs and groups) in this context are usually small unions based on a theme, where people ask to join, is put on a list of members, and where the epitome of activity is being in the clan, perhaps managing to rank up a bit by answering questions or playing games or what not, but otherwise have no real involvement in the clan besides being in it.
Like a fanclub, where people of the same interests all decide to join forces.
In the context of an MMOG, it would be a guild, clan, group... Usually based on skill and popularity and a common goal, rather than a common interest. And then the part where they go do stuff together, but you better go research that yourself, if you want to know more.
So, clans. And what might be so attracting about them that they have to be advertised.
