Ideas to revive the clan.

[Goldmage162]

Now, this may fall on deaf ears, or, considering the purpose for this thread, no ears at all. But here goes.


Currently, we've got practically no activity here or in game. There are a few people (myself included) who log in fairly regularly, but for the most part, nadaa.

I want to get more people in the clan, active and definitely playing in game, and preferably on a forum (such as this one) as well.

This would essentially mean creating a new clan, unless a lage amount of our old members become active again (something I doubt).

So, here I'm asking for ideas and thoughts on how to go about this.


keep in mind I (and anyone else) would, in practice, be creating a new clan from scratch (hopefully keeping enough of what made this one great to continue it's legacy), since a clan is made of people, and we barely have any.

Also, keep in mind that while in the past, our practice was usually "let them adapt to us," that clearly didn't work so well.

Another thing is that, given we'd be having new people in, and essentially b e making a new clan, we can't use the old recruitment methods, at least I don't think so.


Also, thought could be given to creating a new forum (or using the RS clan forums) and using this as an archive almost, with occasional updates. I kinda think it's not great to start bringing in lots of people with threads that have been here for ages (some people would like to read old threads in clan legacy-people like me- and for them this archive would still be here - I hope.


Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Expletives about how wrong I am?

I like the idea of trying to re-animate the clan Gold. I don't know how well it'll go or how long it'll go for, but I support this. I mean, if you needed me to I /could/ help out a bit, but I can't put myself out there to help on a daily basis with this. I'll go with it as much as I can if it happens. We need to completely overhaul the way the clan functions for this to happen, and this includes the joining process, and various rules and such too i'd imagine.

[Goldmage162]

Thank you. And you're right. So we could discuss said rule changes and joining changes here.

Some ideas:

1- The long joining process has to go. It might be a good idea if the applications were kept to the rsof forms-we started doing that a bit, but still required people to go offsite later.

2- The twice-weekly meetings should perhaps be slightly rethought. Meetings are good and all, but we had them so often that for some, nobody would attend (Fridays) and for the most part, nothing was said at them, because we had nothing new to say that often.

Well the meetings could be monthly instead seeing as how that is enough time for a considerable amount of information to amount or two weeks seeing as how an entire month may perhaps be too long in which the info would get distorted and stuff after being spread person to person.

How about to join we take the person on an initiation trip such as we do gwd or pest control with them and see how they work with others and such it will be a fun way to learn about people.

[Goldmage162]

Meetings- I was thinking of more just scheduling meetings when needed. SO if we actually have a significant amount of stuff to talk about, make a meeting. If we have a new inititae, make a meeting.

Also, I like the more interactive meetings we started to do, rather then the "Council preaching to everyone else thing"

As for initiation trips, sounds good Any excuse for more event is ok in my book.

But I'm poor so i won't be able to participate in p2p events I've been having to pay for gas and Kam has not much gold now

I just can't find a viable method to attract new people to this clan at the moment. It's not an easy task, especially when there's less than 5 people who are playing on a consistent basis

[Goldmage162]

Right. Which is why we kinda need to pitch it as -how to create a new clan (almost) from scratch?

[Zigorkhan]

I'll just chime in here is 2 cents since I'm going to assume I'm the only geezer thats going to read this.

Do whatever you need to do as far as restructuring goes. You're the ones who are here, none of us are. Its your call to make.

[Goldmage162]

Thanks. How did you start?

It's been a while but my thoughts would be to move over to 2007scape where the majority of people are.
