Hey all.

I found a short break in my holiday to do some coding, though this project turned out to be way more cumbersome than first anticipated.

alas, you're all getting 2 additional clan spaces.

Once this update is live, I want to put a big fat underscore under no more clan space additions will be happening ever, this is simply due to the sheer amount of files/lines involving clan related stuff.
To put it simply, beyond this point, the reward will just not be worth the effort required.

Because I don't know Zorg's schedule during the summer, I have no idea when he will be around to push it, so do not expect it anywhere before August (however, it is possible to be pushed earlier)

Due to the vast amount of lines/files that requires alterations, it will be up on dev for a few days, maybe a week, before going live, I'll be asking staff members to help me test it, though dev will remain open during this time, so avatars will be welcome to test for bugs as well.

Kind Regards

Hey

Just a quick summary on what's going on from my side.

I may have previously mentioned i had an upcoming move, and that happened this week.
And because of that my development schedule has been severely delayed, according to what I was planning to do when.

That said I haven't been slacking complately though, the next update I'll be releasing is an almost completely redesigned clan bank.
Along ´with a bunch of typos/rephrases in the area of clans.

To give you all a small teaser follow this link:

I have no deadline or exact date for when this is going to be released, but ETA will be within the next 14 days.

And as always i'm open to feedback or suggestions, regarding this update, but please let me know ASAP if you have any additions to this.

So watch out

Clans are a large part of the community, to make names more available and to reduce the numbers for moderating purposes we're introducing new guidance and some new rules soon. Clans that have been inactive for 3+ years will be closed.

Clans that qualify for the closure scheme will have a mass message sent and a thread created so any appeal can be lodged, in case another member can take over if the leader is inactive. Or the leader must lay out why it shouldn't be closed.

All clans are under this, only exception are staff clans and gang clans. To avoid a stress riot I can easily explain that this targets those that are completely dead, those that have a post once every 6 months are fine, those that have 1 post a year are still fine.

Aim is to reduce numbers, free up name space and hopefully make it easier for moderation purposes.

Early spring clean is upon us, this means that all clan leaders & gang leaders have until next Monday to moderate all their forums effectively, as I am well aware moderating ends up taking a back seat.

Staff will be sweeping up any missed or unmoderated content from next week, and as you know if you clean it up before we do that is the end of the matter, if we catch it we get to do the lovely paperwork for it.

To make you aware, clan leaders are held accountable for their forums and fines have and will be handed out accordingly. Gang leaders it is in your best interest to avoid a gang of muted frogs, as some gangs are better than others - your moderation is pristine and you have no work to do

Monday is Dday so - the countdown begins!
