As a person who has been on Clans since the original scrims of Rebels, Forgotten, and Primeval. I must say there are significantly less Clans that everyone appreciates and are well known. Are Clans Dead? When I came back early in November, cf918 and I both agreed, Clan are not the same as they once were. When I first got back into clans last months I had many hesitations in joining the Clans, because Clans just no longer scrimmaged and that bothered me. In this next statement, I am by no means trying to insult the people who run USCL, my personal opinion is USCL has kind of killed off Clans. It has made the battles on the leader boards more of a chore rather then a competition and does not work well for newer Clans.

In another recent conversation about Clan Events, I said there is just enough capable leaders stepping up to make Clans and have the determination to become #1. Personally, I think people do not make many Clans these days, because it would take you atleast 5 weeks to become #1 on the leaderboards with losing and that is a turnoff to many people who want to make Clans. I am going to selfish right now, Clan Wars anyone no matter their status or reputation can prove anything in this event, and is why I think it is so successful.

Staff, USCL, and Clans have been recently working together in recent months to help with any problems that arise in battles and other affairs. Corey and I tried to host Clan Wars differently last month, but those plans soon fell out, because of lack of communication and other duties to communication. I know recently USCL has been more in contact with the Administration Team to help improve upon some issues they are having such as banned players and possibly getting their own servers. Over the last six months, they have made some tries such as rules to regulate Clans, help solve Clan Battle problems, and get more involved. The problems with these attempts, they are either are too weak in getting involved or too hostile with the Clan Rules.

Personally, I think Rebels, but the viable opponent right now is Triton. Legacy still has some things, they must work out before beating them. Hey, if Protocol were to continue to stink around and be active, they might have a chance too, its just not possible with leaderboards as right now. All of these Clans are currently in Clan Wars, it will be a sight to see.

Clans are not Dead, they're just not where they once were.
I've been saying it for 3 months now, people are oblivious and just go through the motions not picking up on one thing or another. As a result...well... this is the result. its the truth. The "don't worry, something will pop up" attitude is hope but the wrong kind of hope. Its purely blind optimism, its the type of hope that is allowing you to rationalize what is wrong and shirk away from it. Instead of that attitude, if we all put in our part, i guarantee "something will pop up," and thats real hope.

Even if I've only been in the "clan community" for around 8 months, there was a way differing vibe to how clans were run and scrimmages were waay more often when I started.

Yeah I was referring more to Legacy than Triton on the inactivity part, but I had to put Triton in somewhere because I didn't want to give you your own paragraph, so I went for it. I agree, Misha and Ray and other people in that clan are very talented Pvp wise, pretty much the only competition at this point. Also Im getting ur caiman very soon bud so expect to go for a rip.
Bud I'm in Mexico for a rip, but I'm back Friday afternoon

Besides forgotten, no clan is ever "unopposed". There will always be some clan that believes that they can beat rebels. The problem, as you stated before was that not many people care. Don't worry though, knowing the clan community something will pop up.
Forgotten weren't exactly "unopposed" either. They had a challenge defeating Bran's version of Rebels, Primeval, Organization v2, Aviate, and several other clans. Even though Bran's version of Rebels were the only ones(out of the clans I can think of off the top of my head) to beat Forgotten it was understood that they weren't "unopposed" or "unchallenged" :p.

Titans were also better than Forgotten at their prime.

Whenever I talked to soul he only mentioned how Titans were the only clan that challenged forgotten.
