I don't like the fact that she cybered with people without telling the people first either. That is pretty self centered and irresponsible. Her actions alos kind of tainted the clan.
I understand why she did it, and can forgive and move on. We should just let it drop and leave it in the past. It happened, yes. if we hang on to it and make an ongoing issue out of it, then it will continue to drag this clan under. We need to focus on ways to be taken seriously as a Clan again.
I am trying hard to bring some real life friends into the clan. Most want to join but have not had the time to do so yet.
I am going to make a christmas card for the site from the clan. If anyone wants to help with it then MSN me. [email]shin.dash@gmail.com[/email]. I won't jump right onto the project right away to give people a chance to take part.
Though it looks very bad to have a banned member as your mascot of sourts. And i don't think he deserves that type of respect.
Arguably so, but a banned member does not equate to a bad person as a whole. Tneill did a lot for us, though it seems that in dark times everyone will only focus on the bad, and forget about the good; she brought us together. I'm glad to have Shin' as a friend and I feel better having known him than simply seen his avatar and looked past him like any other poster. I have Tneill to thank for this. We all have her to thank, or else we'd be left in some other clan thread, feeling slightly out of place.. Though you might feel that right now, I don't.
The least (and perhaps the most) we can do is have an Honorary Member position with her name.

Getting the last word does not mean that you win the argument.
We have a new member. I would like everyone to please welcome Nargaroth[LTU]. he is new to the thread but has shown he is like minded to us, and very intelligent.
EDIT : What the hell??!!
I got two infractions for the xmas card. I can understand (sort of) that it may be somewhat "racy"...though I have seen far worse here by far. But I got nailed for advertising the clan...
Anyone wants to see the card...pm me and I will pm a link for it.
I saw it and it was great. That was classic Shin'. I'll give you a standing ovation for it.

Just for future reference... Seds covered it pretty well, but advertising clans (even indirectly, like the card) outside clans is still advertising and is breaking the rules. The nature was good, but the application was bad.
I let me gf open her present early last night. Her monitor on her computer is absolute junk and I got tired of watching her try and play games on it...and work in photoshop. I got her a new 19" Flat LCD monitor. I wrapped it in multiple packages. The first one she openned had the screws to attack the stand...she was confused :-P
I would like to be removed as a member of clan [VOGUE]. I thought I'd try a clan but I guess I don't really see the use of me being in here. Seeya guys (and girls) around!

Wait, why the hell is platapus a member? He never asked to be, and in fact, the only thing he's ever posted is meow.
Come to think of it, Nargaroth hasn't even been here.
I did some back-reading, and I saw that these people are your friends. They need to at least request membership, and they should continue to be active. Simply spamming and leaving is the kind of stuff we should be avoiding.
I'm sorry that it's come to this, but judging from my inactivity from the last couple of weeks, I'm not sure how much I can contribute to this clan anymore. I'd like to be taken off the members list, if you would.

I asked Paltypus to join and he said yes. He joined the Forum specifically because I asked him too. He does have a habit of "Meowing" when he posts...its the way he says "hello" I will talk to him about saying something more substancial.
I also asked Nargaroth to Join because after conversing with him I found him rather bright and kindred. He happens to be out of town for th Holidays though, but seems very gung-ho on his membership.
If new members do not contribute to the clan, then I will ask them to leave obviously. I am trying hard to build and hold this clan together. The people in it mean alot to me.

It's been a great ride guys, thanks.
I assumed most of the innactivity was due to the holidays. I am truly sorry to see you go Ghindo. A space will always be open for you shall you choose to return. I somehow think most people leaving is mostly for other reasons.
People on this site seem to have it in for us as of late. I have discussed it with a few other members and they seem to agree...in fact it is usually mentioned first by people I am talking too.
I generally could care less what people think of me. I do not butt kiss and I speak my mind. If people like me or like me...it is me they base that off and not a Facade...and it gurantees you have more real friends than phonie ones. But people looking down on the clan is a bad thing, because it reflects all the members. I am sure if we stick too it and do our best to maintain and grow, eventually most of the bad blood will vanish. People will realize we are not Tneil and should not pay for the contempt they have for her. The secret thread will be forgotten. New members will come and old will go. It is the nature of life in general, definately expediated on the internet. Life moves on.
I want this Clan to grow and to become a mainstay of this forum. I want people to be proud to be members and to beg to join.
A son cannot be condemed for the sins of his father, now can a man be condemed for his thoughts. It is the actions we take which matter. History must be learned from, but left in the past. It is the future that matters and what we should strive to improve.
I have some things I want to happen:
A) Clan activities and projects; Something we can work on as a team. i tried to do that with the Xmas card...but nobody seemed intrested.
I was thinking we should build our own Website. Anybody here good at web-design. I am good at Photoshop...but haven't done coding in over six years.
Also any other ideas for Clan activities, feel free to suggest.
B) Second in Command; Because I work on the computer all day, unless I'm asleep I am generally here. But obviously I cannot be here all the time. What do people think of a Second in Command? My thoughts are either Soul Grind or Yukora because they are the most active members.
C) Growth; We need to grow to be taken seriously. I am talking friends into joining the forum to build or ranks. It has to be people who will actually post of course, otherwise it is no better than a gimick obviously.
I've made the decision that because Platypus has only posted once in this thread, or for that matter, in the entire forum, he doesn't constitute a clan member per se. I also removed ghindo in accordance with his request to leave.
So currently, yes, you do have enough members to remain a clan, but don't let the numbers drop.
I was wondering we needs somthing to do to keep the clan going well what does everybody do when there online is there somthing that we all have in common that we can try and work to gether to do like shin' said like a website or somthing.
Uhh sure to both accounts. Why not. Sounds like fun, if I do a crappy job you can just take over Shin'.

For now just introduce yourself in the council forum and get an idea of what is going on. I respect and trust you enough to speak for us all, but keep me/us posted what is going on. I am going to start reading in there from time to time, but it is primarily your domain.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll do my best.

Ye Olde Sig and Avatar Shoppe is the bomb!
I guess me suggesting him as second in command is moot.
Soul Grind, do you want the second in command seat?
You will also have the duty of Clan Counel Rep.
I think you'd serve better as the Rep, Shin'. The Clan would work better with its most active member being in the representative position.
