And if they don't become active again after they are de-officialized, then they will be treated like any other unofficial clan till they are a dead clan
then their official boards can be deleted if it has to be.
Fair enough. We can make it so people retain their boards. I said no to Trestet yesterday as I was unsure and wanted to discuss it with the team.
(didn't wanna go merging boards without some forethought)
Having said that, I would like to keep the toriclan saying the latest date of officialization. This gives us a defined date as to when the latest itteration of the clan made it back to official, and your own records would keep track of the previous embodiment of the clan.

But you do get 25 points only from forum activity so the clan passes. So al they want to do if they want to have a clan is to post replays in clan board and they are good to go. Don;t even see why this is a problem. If they want more they should play the game like the rest of us plebs.
I find the clan room perk very nice and i have a few ideas about it.
I think it should cost a lot of perk at the begining but after you should only pay a moderate fee every 6 months.
To get people to actually play in the rooms is trickier. I would like to think of this room as customisable. So beside gettting the room you can also get other perks for it.
- Like a big wall far away with clan logo (3d item) that only apears in that room
- welcome messages for clan members like on discord when you join a room. For example : insanity joins room, /cp text says All hail Insanity! (maybe the perk comes with 3 options to edit and text is randomly shown)
- colored clan tag text in room
Maybe more, can;t think of any more atm.
SP clans have a solution in place whereby the activity check loks at uploads to the database in the replay board.
This also applies to the mods board, so people who make mods count as active.
Your idea as to how to obtain and maintain a clan static server was similar to my first thoughts.
One large investment of perk points, and then smaller amounts as upkeep every 2 months (to keep in line with activity checks).
I don't
think it's possible to have things like welcome messages set up just for one server, and it would be too intrusive in every server.
Again, I'm not sure if we could do those kinds of 3d item options in just one room, might need to be done with mods?
The coloured tags in game and stuff was suggested, and I really don't like the idea tbh. I already don't like that legends get colours/crons ingame. IMO that kind of thing should be reserved for staff and ops of servers, jsut for the sake of clarity and I really don't want to add to that.

Also, another suggestion for a perk would be to have an item similar to the head avatar that displays under your score ingame, but it'd have your clan logo instead.
Maybe it could come with a small discount (10 or 15%) when bought in a bundle together with the clan logo for forum posts, or have that discount to apply as if you own one, the other is a little bit cheaper and vice-versa.
The logo is a possibility, will look into that, although I don't know how it would conflict with the current icon item.
Discounts based on clan size would be a thing to even out the prices for larger clans, on most if not all of the perks that add specific things to accounts.
TY for commenting and getting involved guys, it's much appreciated.
Hopefully gonna get off my ass and revamp the rules threads today, at which point the spring cleaning portion is done and we can move forwards with some suggestions.
