Glad I'm not alone with that viewpoint Dave...it's a wast of time even 'bobbing your head in there' now.. 🙁

Originally posted by patrickrutgersSpot on, if you are genuinely seeking anything remotely 'clan useful', you'd have no option but to either go elsewhere or more likely just not bother ! I think it's one reason why the clubs are doing so so well and the clan leagues are going down the pan. I can't remember the last time I TRIED to get a league thread 'consistently' utilised there, I just gave up in the end..attempts at creating more league interest did result in an entirely new league layout, but the clan system is just plain unattractive to so so many new members that the numbers are not nearly what was hoped for. It's a bloody shame !

It's poorly moderated; sorry moderation team but why can't ALL the consistently repetitive 'IVV v Metallica drivel' go in one great big thread instead of allowing all these useless additional 'recruitment' threads !?? Unless something like this is done, anyone 'genuinely' posting there is not realising what a wast of time their efforts are...you may as well just can the forum altogether if it continues 'as is'.

Originally posted by SilverstrikerYes, I can see your point...I just think that all this name calling nonsense is actually affecting other perhaps more 'needy' clans from ever being to able utilise that dedicated forum. One example of that is that for years clan leaders would just leave a solitary note saying something like: 'two players urgently needed for upcoming league'...they'd post it and RELY upon it being read by SOME interested parties. Now, all this bollox name calling has put these otherwise previously 'interested parties' off from venturing in there.....also, that solitary post is just nigh on invisible after the umpteen nonsense threads are 'bumped' up the order. The clan leader then can only wonder why nobody has bothered to contact him about the league places..he wonders only until he sees just what a wast of time it was relying upon his post in the first place...

Originally posted by RevRSleekerDon't know how successfull the league recruitment campaign was Dean, but personally the only new clan members I have ever attracted have been thro' personal invitations or people wanting to join a clan and looking thro' the clan list.

It helps of course that we are on the first page so I suppose that although the list is not a measure of success, it does show who are the active clans, especially if you use the last challenge filter
As far as I'm concerned, the "usual suspects" can use the clan forum for whatever they like.I never look at it.
