There seems to be some kind of unspoken animosity when it comes to this issue. At first, they didn't seem like much of a problem, then BOOM, all the guild clans are out and we haven't hit Dissension yet!
I think they're ****ing retarded. None of you are in a guild, none of the guilds have anything to do with you. Seriously, they're the lamest thing ever, and so unoriginal. I'm so sick of this "I'm Boros" crap, they're just color combinations, not a way of life.
I don't hate the clans in particular, though I'm not a huge fan of a handful of members.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Gee, a place to meet others that have the same interests... maybe even a place to talk to them! Why, you might even call it a "forum!"
In a forum that lacks a space to talk about what you did last night or how you're feeling or who you're dating or whatever, they serve a semi-useful function. I'd much rather we just allow people to make threads about that stuff if they wanted to, but as long as we have Clans I will support them.

Clans are okish
Guild Clans are like Britney spears(minus the hotness at the time)
They are a FAD. Like all FAD's they die later after they become annoying. The only thing this fad has made me want to do is go look for everyone that hates Guild clans and form a clan of them...OH wait I be a hypocrite...
In short....don't care if they weren't so annoying but seeing that I see them everywhere to a point where Votes on polls are swayed by there involvement I hate them.
I guess this prevents me from being in any clan in the near future
EDITED: This doesn't mean I hate anyone... I just never been a fan of Guilds...
Lost to many friends to WoW cause of them...

quoted for truthery. They're like a fan group for magic. They'll pass over after awhile. But the clans are so tightly knit. I suppose its simply because they go by the name [RAKDOS] or [GRUUL CLANS], if they were called something like [JFF]Just For Fun clan! or [PC]Plastic Chairs! I wouldn't have a problem, but it just seems like any old fan club like LOTR fan club or Britney Spears fan club.

Indeed, it seems like all the noobs tend to gravitate towards those clans, and many annoying members.
Whoa guys, holy hate. SInce all of the posts supporting the guild clans here are totally lame, I'm going to have to speak on behalf of them.
First of all, most of the guild-inspired clans act and talk as though they are a normal clan. We talk about the same thing, and like most clans, we are united because we are united by something that we all like. I'm not saying all of the guild clans are normal, and even I find them annoying sometimes. But in threads like Dimir's, you will find that we dont differ that much from other clans.
Secondly, the reason why most new members flock towards guild-inspired clans is because the other clans are very reluctant to let new members in. The new members also join because they instanly recognize the beliefs of the guild clans. Unlike clans like The Called, the guild clans are instantly identifiable. It's hard for new members as it is, so guild clans are a great way to get to know the community.
As a long time member of Dimir, and a fairly active poster on Salvation, I can safely say that I would have never been this active if it werent for my guild clan members.
how can you hate on us. we have random hot chicks after every post, and were just like other clans, talk about life and such. Kind of ridiculous methinks. We dont even walk around and say, look at me im Boros or selesnya.

Yes you do, you advertise your "allegiance" in your sig with every post.
I'm sure most of the people that hate the Guild clans are afraid, we are growing in power!.....except not. I had been wanting to jion a clan, before I joined rakdos, but I felt like an invader if I were to try an join an established clan, so I chose to go for a new one. At that time, it was Guild clans that were being made, so I went for one that seemed Funnish. Personally, I like the colors, but I also like the flavor. well the flavor I know about,
Yay bloodwitchs! But between F1r3ball, DLiver and Pincushion, I found a couple guys that, like myself, are laid back, like metal and b/r magic. Not that hard to do, but if we were named something like "Hell's CareTakers" you wouldn't have a problem with us. But we would be the same ppl, talking about the same stuff. More then Guild hate, I think we are victems of Elitist hate. "Oh your just a fad" maybe, maybe not. Time will let me know.
Good thing we're a bunch of laid back guys who'd rather be creating a "Men's Magazine" thread then spamming up threads of flaming ppl or hacking certain official magic websites. I will finish my rambling with this:
"If you have to hate me, hate me for my poor spelling!"
edit: I'm not try to point anyone out with my Elitist hate remark. On lots of very social forums, like ours, there are more established groups and less established groups, and friction always seems to develop, I just hope it won't be over something as trivial as the theme of a few clans.
I don't much care, simply because I don't read them. They're far too annoying for me to do so.
Sure, some people in guild clans are alright, but the majority is a half-baked attempt at a proper conversation by a bunch of new members. And the general lack of any sort of proper spelling and/or grammar makes me want to rip my eyes out and stomp on them. *shrug*

Uh...yeah.you do.
As for the Guildies, well it just shows a phenomena thats obvious, other guilds, while they may not be as elitist as the called (I dont mind the called, but their applicaiton process is elitism at its finest), are rather well confusing to new members. What is RBS? What is Project Mayhem? What the Hell is Robot Jesus?
These questions are less applied to the guild clans, so they have a large # of joinees.
Id be interested incidentally in the membership of Casual[T]ies, as they seem to actually have a goal and whatnot thats pretty obvious, and would probably attract a lot of newbs (no offense) for an old clan. I suspect they do, but i dont really know cuz i dont read their thread.
That said, the newbs in the guild clans have this stick together mentality that drives me crazy (See BotU). Its all like, Hey we're in the Guild clans you should know who we are!
*Sigh*

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
Yes you do, you advertise your "allegiance" in your sig with every post.
Hmmm... In fact, member of each clans does this...(in case you didn't noticed)
I don't think Guild clans are trying to look special or 1337, it's just guild-haters whose reaction towards us is sick(i don't know why); YOU call us n00bs, YOU call us mindless, YOU are the root of all evil

Im 70% Evil. The root of all evil is a girl i know who goes to MIT. Take it up with her.
And yeah every clan does it. But i know my clan doesnt have a huge banner advertising their allegiance (though most do, so we're an exception :-P)

Mind you im in a guild clan myself (errr 2 if zoo counts as two), as an honorary member at least. But just some of the people who are in your clans i cannot stand, and its cuz of the reasons i said above.

Theres the rub you see. You can be elitist in only allowing certain people in, but then you are making sure that you are getting good people. The guild clans usually let anyone in, except for a few, and thats were you find lots of the more annoying posters. The Clan naming themselves after the Guild
"The Cult of Rakdos" had alot of average guys, and one really enthusiatic guy, tho we haven't seen much of Ishan lately

The Guild Clans are on my list to slaughter. Its sooo unoriginal, annoying, n00bish, etc. to be in a Guild Clan. Verry annoying with those 'ME BE IN TEH RAKDOS CLAN YAY' banners.
