It's that time of the year for us again. Time to add another year to the list, time for Germs to get into his birthday suit and start drinking, time for me to edit my signature.
It's now been 13 years of wonderful existence for 'The' Clan!
This is something I'm that no doubt would have been inconceivable to those who started this all off on the 16th December 1999. I'm not entirely sure myself how we've made it this far, but I know it's got something to do with the many awesome oranges who have literally put years of work into this establishment, and on behalf of the clan I'd like to thank everyone who has kept us going.
It seems every time we hit a set back, we get a wonderful response from our members and we get right back up; over the years we've seen countless mass leaves, friends turned enemies, over 15 different leaders, and well over 3000 different members. But we've still maintained consistent activity for all 13 years; not once have we ever considered closure, neither have we taken breaks from active warring, or lost our respect for opponents and the maintenance of honour.
Some people will say we should have closed years ago, but it's clear to me that you don't need a 100 man memberlist to have fun, you don't need to be at the top of the rankings to be relevant, and closing will never be an option for us.
Thank you to most of the clan world for being awesome, here's to another 13!
