It worked when TRR was active. People from other clans and communities won't ever come here as long as TRR isn't extremely active by itself. Plus we had issues with getting the Diplomats to actually go out and invite clans.

Things aren't really that bad in TRR/RuneScape, but this is basically my thinking. TRR hasn't ever been an extremely serious/pushy events or warring clan. I'm not saying this is a reason to not do RCW - I agree with it - I'm just saying that moving towards more of community would probably change less than you'd believe. Yes, we've had success, but I really don't think that diversifying would necessarily change anything. Even now, the majority of forum topics/discussion don't even revolve around RuneScape. It's really not that big of a push.And yes, I realize how absurd it seems to attempt to start a gaming forum since there's so many - but what other kind of community could this be turned into if that's the path we took?

I would like to welcome you into our clan; congratulations on being accepted into the RuneScape Rebelz! ____________ I. What's Required of You ____________ 1. Forum Activity As a member of TRR, it is your responsibility to periodically check up on the clan forums. This is important for many reasons, the least of which is so you can stay updated on clan news and important announcements. Many members choose to bookmark the forums - Forum Index - and simply check up on them quickly before or after logging into RuneScape. Posting on the forums is a necessary part of becoming involved with our clans community, and promotions are often based on how active clan members are on the forums. ____________ 2. In-Game Communication It might seem silly, I know; but you would be amazed at how many people join and then complain that they didn't ever know when an event was taking place. To prevent that and to get to know other members of the clan, staying active in our in-game friends AND clan chat is a must. Our clan chat is 'The Rebelz', and members are expected to be in it whenever they're on RuneScape. You are allowed to leave the chat in certain situations (e.g. checking up on a merchant chat, moving chats for an event, etc), but generally you should be in the clan chat while on RuneScape. ____________ 3. Other Tips Other great communication tools that can help your chances at a promotion greatly include IRC and Ventrilo.

You can learn more about using IRC specifically in our guide. ____________ Quick Information Friends Chat: TheRebelz Clan Chat: The Rebelz IRC Channel: #Rebelz It's great to see you in TRR, we all look forward to getting to know you!

I don't think you guys understand why this is being proposed. This isn't to make the RuneScape clan better, it's to diversify to other things and focus less on RuneScape. It's not about getting more members for TRR, it's about getting more members for the forum.That said, I'm fine if you wish to try the RCW idea, but we need to get going on it because I want to start some new communities either way. It's a matter of whether or not TRR is going to be included, not if it happens or not.

A license = 1 board.By doing this, tons less emphasis is going to be placed on being a clan alone, I'm not going to lie.But really, what have we done recently that would be adversely affected? It's not like other clans hardly ever declare on us.

Yes, we could have multiple boards under one domain. But to do that, we'd buy/rent another IPB license and then just have one board link to another. They wouldn't really be the same community and the accounts wouldn't be linked.There are two options here.1. TRR turns into the gaming community and the RuneScape aspect of the gaming community is relegated to one sub-forum. All TRR/RuneScape Clan specific stats for posting/accounts/awards/etc are lost.2. We create a completely new board and everything and whoever from TRR who wants to join that one can register a new account. We would have no posts, members, or anything and would be starting from scratch. The gaming community would have no subforum for RuneScape, but could link to TRR's separate site/boards. I don't think this would work since we would have none of the advantages of having a pre-existing community there. It could still be done, but yeah.

The F2P high scores are gone... wtf?Fuck RuneScape. All eggs into the extended gaming forum basket!

There's not much of a future as a RuneScape clan, I'm sorry to say that but it's true.We could continue as a small RuneScape clan indefinitely and be perfectly fine. This change could very well kill the community, but I don't think that chance is any larger than if we continue as we are.In short, we may as well take the big risk and hope for a decent payoff.If we grow large enough, we won't have to ever recruit. Communities should grow off of searches for answers - things like character builds, game tips, etc. all in the forum of threads. Yes, this forum is relatively inactive now. We have at least 20 forum posters though, and that can exponentially rise. It's not like we're starting out from scratch.The angle I'm taking for this is simple - a great number of our forum users (hell, most of them) don't even play RuneScape anymore, yet they continue to use the forum. We may as well try to channel that into something that can sustain what we've started here, even if it's not in the same form.My ultimate goal should we take this route would be to have a LARGE, self-sustaining community driven by adsense/donations. We're self-sustaining now technically, but that consists of me badgering the same 2-3 poor bleeding heart members (Blue) every month for a couple bucks.

The name of the overall board and URL address will change. TRR will still be TRR/The Rebelz, it will all just be under a sub-category on the main board.

It would be cool to have the name something related to RPG games (probably the main focus). Notice how thenexusforums references the "Nexus" in Dark/Demons Souls (and probably other games). The Nexus is essentially the "central point" used to travel to other worlds in that game. It's a cool metaphor for how their forum links to several different gaming forums.Tbh, when they came up with that name they probably didn't even think that deeply into it. But it would be cool if we could come up with something similar.

I remember when raw lobs were 300gp each. Hahaha.

Droid 3.Bought it because it was the only new smartphone with a full, physical keyboard.

Lets get some more hits from potential recruits to the site, guys. This isn't a measure of posting, it's a measure of people visiting the site. You can't recruit members if no one even looks! o_O

They need either 1) More bank spaces for F2P or 2) Let Members that move to F2P use the extra spaces. I'll be damned if they're not fucking those of us who have paid like $120+ in membership only to not be able to redeposit every misclicked item because of their crappy/lagtastic interface.

Best RuneScape News Bot.

Best Hitler.

Agreed. Long overdue.

Once per year.

Bump?

We actually had a legitimate conversation about something similar to this, haha. You got me though, I did think it was Blue. Didn't help that I just half-glanced at the OP didn't bother to read much of the sarcastic web games only Blexun could know about.

I wasn't taking about making more clans, we were going to turn it into a community board for gaming/RPGs.

Fuck you corporate machine.
