Don't you think that after a clans death discussion can still occur? Maybe unless discussion goes inactive for like 1 month, I understand moving it. But maybe allow them to stay after death. When I mean discussion, I mean directly related to the clan.

It's unnecessary to keep topics about dead clans around. It would serve no purpose.

If it's dead... what's there to discuss?

Maybe reasons why they died?

How is that beneficial?

Clans are integral to [online] doom's culture and are often used to note an era within said culture. I'd rather there be a sticky thread about dead clans in general-this way the sanctity of an ex-clan's thread can remain neat, sealed, and archived for the history channel

I'm sure administration has their reasons. I thought I'd chime in because they gave some weird answers :P

Completely agree. The history of competetive doom is interesting.

Pointless, pm the op as to why the clan died maybe?

There's already a subforum where all dead clans go to. It's in the same subforum as all active clans.
If a clan does die, most of them will have a post in their thread why it did. If they didn't, you could always PM the leader if you want to ask.

There's no need to make a special announcement for clans that die, especially when many clans that do are small and last for a few weeks.

A better question! How is this thread beneficial??

Clans don't even last that long around here. Most of them are usually joke clans or they have people that are extremely inactive.

A dead clan is a dead clan. Clans come and go, and the average Doom clan lifespan (nowadays) is anywhere from 6 months to maybe a year. In the old days it was different, but yeah.

There's really no need for a dead clan's thread to linger around. That's like saving an empty bag of Doritos after you've already eaten them all.

I like Strych's idea, it would be good for those who linger around the past. Pretty sure everyone's had a moment where they discuss their old clans and who was in it and what was so great about it.

I have felt the need to add something or express myself in thread of a clan that just died while I was asleep. So I like the idea of not locking clan threads immediately.

Maybe we can send dead clan threads to the dead clan threads section but still make them postable?

Done.
