We could be even more niche than the general cliché tribes. Vote on the number of clans introduced and then what those specific clans should be.
What if a clan doesn't want to have a leader though? Some might want to be more of a co-op effort where no one person is in charge of anything.I think people should apply to be clan leaders then there can be as many clans as there are good ideas. Admins and CCs review the application and approve of it if there seems to be considerable backing. Likewise, if a clan does not do well or later becomes inactive, it will be removed.

I think HK and Clans are two entirely different discussions. If you want to remove HK, sure. If you want to add clans, sure. If you want both, sure. If you want neither, sure. The ideas currently surrounding clans don't line up at all with what HK is. [ilquote=Garo]It's like replacing a broken cell phone with a toaster. Sure, the toaster might work splendidly, but it doesn't really address the broken cell phone at all[/ilquote]
So, thanks for finally bringing back the Clans discussion thread, Matt. I think such discussion is much better suited there than here.
I would not say that thats two entire different discussion. But i would say we are getting ahead of ourself seeing we don't even have a clan system to begin with.
Like i said, you can easly make a "active user" or "role model" clan if you wanna keep some of the concept from the HK after the rank is removed. BUT, please don't make the same mistake of letting them vote among themselfs or give any special privileges. You can either let the whole forum nominate/vote, similair to the golden key awards, or let the staff vote among themselfs.
Besides, it doesn't necessarly needs a special banner or group color. Just give it a logo and put a seprate tab as "award showcase" and "gift showcase". An alternative would be by putting it at the user info.
Lets take you for example:

Well the general impression isn't that they can just go and start one like they could a group. Seems that people are agreeing that we could have as many clans as ideas, and that a proposal for one would be made, and then it'd be set up by the staff and that's how it'd go.As for details, i suggest there would be no such thing as custom clans that members can create themselfs.
I feel like having staff approve clan proposals and arbitrarily remove people who are in too many clans would introduce a lot of unnecessary drama.
