So yeah, Ascension's officially closed, Just before i go on to quotes of what all the leaders and founders have to say, I want to thank everyone from the members of Ascension, the Crashers who gave us attention throught our existance, and all the clans dead or alive that battled us and gave us action, was an honour being a leader of this clan and i wish every member in ascension the best on where they go.
Me personally, i've been in ascension for 16 months now and from being a clueless applicant joining with little to no experience I was taught by the best officials a clan can have, and with them guiding me i became the Event co-ordinator then council and then one day i was handed down leader of ascension whichis an honour to be handed down and i thank the officials to this day for letting me hold such a prestigous rank. But honestly being the leader of Ascension wasn't what made me stay though the good and the bad times, it was the community... No matter if we were pulling 20 people or 50 the community was always active and the memorys i have will never be forgoten, even if the name Ascension is. I have to thank every one of you, past and present, our newest applicant to our founders, without you i'd never have had such a great time and I hope when you go on with your clanning you can say you were proudly in ascension. All great things must come to an end and at the end of the day, we will be ascending high into the heavens, and never... never ending.
Heres the other Leaders and founders of ascension's comments on ascension

It's been a pleasure to be a part of Ascension.
Throughout my stay here, it's been one hell of a ride. We started off as 'nobodys' or a TFC remake but our determination to be something, to be known or to be a force to be reckoned with never faltered.. even with our many emo sprees and talks of ending. Ascension to many, isn't just a clan but a second home, a second family and that's one of the many reasons why we stayed strong over the years, but overall, all things come to an end.
Asc wouldn't be Asc without the community and that's one of the many things I'll always be proud of.. because I can safely say, no clans' will ever compare to it; from the goofing around on TS/Vent to the late hours, detective work, AOE/LoL units, drunk moments on teamspeak, tinychat bombings, 6 hr karaoke events and emo rantings about exes or just what we did throughout the day - it was an amazing community.. even if it is a game, the moments and the memories are real and it will never be forgotten.
All in all, I thank all of the members and Officials for their time, effort and dedication they've put to this clan - big or small, we wouldn't have made it this far without you guys (even to all the people who left). Thanks for the memories and for sticking with us this long. I wish all the members and everyone else the best with RS/IRL and their future endeavors. Thank you.
This isn't a good bye but an end to a chapter in our lives with a bitter end. But on another hand, as this slowly closes, it also dictates a new beginning, a new page, onto more opportunities, bigger and brighter things to look forward to for tomorrow.

When people are young, they come up with pure ideas without thinking about the consequences or the chances of failure. In our case, it was a group of friends who wanted to remain good friends and decided to open a clan that was a second home for people to have fun and relax without thinking about the real world - a family. And for most of us, though we never saw each other in real life, most of us found friends that we'd continue talking with for the next couple of years. Whether the topic was emo from Johnny or silly from Ruhed or retarded from Angelo or about our dreams for the future, I had a load of fun staying past midnight just talking and having fun a lot of times with everybody for the past 2 years.
It was surprising how a bunch of high schoolers thought about this clan sort of as a second job sometimes. Skip school, skip sleep, skip work? If we needed to really put in a effort to win a war, it was like everyone put in the damn effort to come together and accomplish our goal. Even if I had to put in a lot of effort, I admit that I did enjoy it and I never thought it was for waste since it was for a bunch of friends that I care about.
There's a lot of people from this clan that I miss, people that I know others miss as well as we haven't talked to them for more than 6 months. Time really does fly when you're having fun.
I remember in high school, I said to myself during sophomore year that, playing online games was retarded - especially when you put work into it lmfao. When you actually let your grades and IRL goals drop just because you care about your online clan and success in a game l0l. But really I'd like to thank everyone who was ever a part of the clan and community - especially all the oldschool Relentless and TFC Unit - and I'd hope you all attain happiness in your life and fulfill your lifelong dreams. Thank you and stay in touch bros and hos.

Time has been flying by on a lot of us, and I can tell you that I had one hell of a time. I will never forget the reason why Johnny, Ivan, and I wanted to create this clan. That reason was to build our friendship, but also build friendships with other people who wanted to join Ascension. Our main focused was always our community, then our warring. We wanted a clan that would have fun during wars, but also have a time when you just needed to be serious. I want to thank all the officials (past and present), and also thank every single person who has been part of Ascension. You guys made our dream come true in this game by becoming a great clan, and I am glad I got the chance to build many relationships with you all. I wish everyone the best of luck with life, and to the ones who continue to clan, I wish that YOU find a clan that you want to be apart of. Ascension will always be my second home, and will never forget the memories we all shared. I will miss all of you, and hope we all stay in touch via IRC, TS3, Forums, Facebook, or even text me about anything. I will always be Proud to have been Ascension's Founder & Leader.

The two and a half years I've been in this clan have been amazing. We started out as a clan pulling 12's to CWA slowly progressing to pulling 35+ and peaking at 58. We pushed our way from being nobodies to being a top mid-sized clan. We went from being really inconsistent pulling 20-40s then back to 20s to being stable for the past few months. Our pulls have been over 30 for the past few months and I am proud of everyone for putting effort in
Warring however, was not the only thing Ascension was about. The main thing that kept me in Ascension and what made Ascension what it is was the community. The community in Ascension is something that I probably won't have in any other clan if I do decide to join. We always had an active community, talking on TS, chilling on IRC. The clan never really revolved around runescape, but a bunch of friends playing/doing other activities such as Tin. Ascension was like a family to me and I will never forget my time here.
Anyways Ascension was a great experience for me and i'd like to thank anyone who was ever a part of Ascension. I'd like to thank all the current members who gave effort and their time into our clan and helped us achieve what we did. Stay in touch, proud to have been Ascension.

We've been alive for 3 years now, and have done something not many clans can say, stay true to our values. We never tried to become the #1 clan, but simply one of the best mid-sized clans, with the best community of any clan alive, which is what we did. Our leadership was unique, a group of friends who just wanted to create a great atmosphere for the over 300 members we've housed over the years. On top of that, when I merged my clan Godz into Ascension 2 years ago, the entire clan world never thought we'd last a month. Together we survived the ordeal, and took two small insignificant clans at the time, and fused them into one, and created the foundation of one of the best mid-sized clans this game has ever seen. We did something not many clans could, begin our clan at a time when the clan world was dying, something very few clans have been able to do. What allowed us to do this was the fuel from those who told us we couldn't. We defeated every clan that ever mocked us, and showed no one could put a limit to our clan.
