At best, I'd say at most one or two people from NO could have vouched for the clan to become legendary, but regardless, Skul and suo would have the final say, two people who pledge no allegiance to the "NOlluminati". Also, I am only guessing about all of this, since I was also not staff anymore at this time.
"Circle jerk" is just a disingenuous hand-wave to the fact that (as Icky already said) NO had so many members who were at one time major players in the community. There have been many "staff clans", but none likely as notorious and influential as NO. I believe there are other legendary clans whose legendary status is more questionable than that of NO's (not like I actually disagree with any).
And yes, I am in NO, and I was associated with the "NOlluminati" at one point in time. But, I am trying to be absolute here, and I also haven't spoken to most of those guys in years, so it's not like my bias is blinding my reasoning.
