I've read intimations regarding their demise, but haven't the whole story.
Kind of sad really.
I was part of a very active Clan two years ago, then left for personal reasons in 2017...only to return to a ghost-town.
What's happened?
are you referring to the forum or the clans themselves?
there are still plenty of clans and lots of challenges going on
the clan forum is a different thing, nothing but a cesspool

I wasn't bothered that RHP took my money in spite of my being away for a year. I'd voluntarily signed on for the auto-deduction and could have stopped it at any time. But I knew I'd be returning soon. It was just disappointing to find that certain features had significantly diminished.
I guess the entertaining Forum banter is pretty fair compensation, however. Well...most of the time. 🙂

if you were limited to one clan then some of the members who are in multiple clans would form their own clan and clan grouping would enlarge.
very odd to allow multiple clan membership. i have never seen this on any other site.
hard to be loyal when a member of multiple clans

Originally posted by @lemondropI've also been in favor of one clan only. Should also have a minimum amount of members not a one man clan as a clan is more than one person. 😉

would it be a good idea for an advisory poll on the issue of clans.
if perhaps there were a significant number of voters to give russ some idea of the depth of the opinion the results might
prove usefull.
there could be a few questions such as:
should clan membership be reduced to10
should 1 man clans be eliminated
should the membership in more than 1 clan be eliminated
just a thought. to have value the polling census would have to have a significant number of paying members giving and opinion as a few or a few dozen would not test the waters.
it would be advisory only as while voting paying members play here they also do not own the site so it is up to admin
to do as they feel what is good for timeforchess
i think polling time would last about 90 days to give all paying members time to vote as some members may not
vote early or may not vote until they have read commentary in the clan forum or have not moved in a while.

I'm prepared to have a couple of consultation votes on this - very happy for members to steer the site's future direction on established features such as clans.
One further thing though...the new (soon to be released) RHP update should raise the profile of clan membership in a positive way. Player profiles work a little differently - with clan membership given more prominence.
