I have great respect for many of the players who participate in this forum. And I know pretty much why I think well of them -- the things they've done, the manner in which they've done them. But I don't know much of anything about the clans they populate. And I realize that different players will value different things in a clan. So I ask -- in hopes of many different kinds of answers -- what is it that makes a clan good? Abstractly, but in particulars (that is, specific things that clans have done), too, if I may be so demanding. What do good clans do, that make them good clans?

To add to that... I think the good clans are those with active membership. You can have a clan that's full of terrific people, but if they don't have cause to interact, the clan will be boring and, eventually, dead. The realy good clans have great leadership and common cause - they have activities that bond the members together, their clan channel has active conversations, etc. What the clan actually does is actually secondary... as is the size, overall power, and all the other trappings. Find a clan that has an active member base, and you'll see a good clan.

My apologies - I was thinking more in the abstract rather than what I personally look for. I'm an eclecticaraian, so I like having a wide variety of projects to choose from and participate in. Fortunately for me, Warehouse 23 has all that and more. For example, we're currently doing one where everyone This portion of this post violates Section 207.5b of Warehouse 23 policies and has therefore been removed from the public record. Further violations could result in fines, jail time, or decapitation via wet pasta. Message code 123.11.52.84, which should hopefully result in a platypus. I'm pretty excited about it!
