Okay, well I want to know everyone's opinions on this idea. It's going to seem drastic, but I seriously need you to think about it for the good of the site. I was thinking, since we have approximately six active members, and four active staff, that we REDUCE the number of clans. Yes, it will no longer be TEN clans of the Forest, at least temporarily. I promise you that if it is decided that it will be this way, the RPS and boards will be preserved just as they are now, but be hidden to the public. I was honestly thinking about reducing the number to three. Then we will have three VERY ACTIVE clans as opposed to ten that are mostly inactive. The site will still be TCOTF, but it would stand for three, instead of ten. THIS IS TEMPORARY. I know part of my dream when I created this site was to have the biggest Warrior forum out there with the most diversity and clans. So I will bring back all of the clans when there is high activity and lots of members in the remaining three. It's not a punishment, it's an idea. I just think we'd have more luck if we tried to build small and grow from there. I would of course, make a poll and we would all choose which three would stay. The cats that you have in the other clans would either transfer to the remaining three clans, or else go on a hiatus until the return of the ten [which will make an AWESOME plot if it were to happen]. I thought about this a lot,and I think it will be effective, I want to know what you think about this.

WHAT?!
@#$%^&!!
*throws tantrum* >/ >/ >/
Okay, I'm done. On a more serious note, I am very upset by this. Please say it isn't so! D: I have at least 3 cats in each Clan except Fog and Rage - don't make that all vanish. I love all my characters and all the Clans..!
However, since I must take into account the well-being of this website and not only my opinion as a staff member, I must say it would be best to turn this into a plot. Perhaps there is a lack of food, which hurts cats enough as it is, but also because of this other predators like foxes or something have to pick off cats instead (explaining, but not setting in stone in case of return, the vanishing of members and, therefore, their characters.) Maybe the 'weaker' Clans crumble or if by decision of their leader merge with other Clans?
This is just my two cents.

Since there isn't really anything I can input at this point, I think it's a good idea and I agree with Amber's ideas for turning it into a plot

I like the 'merging' clans idea. That sounds good.

This is indeed an interesting idea. And I may not have much say in it, considering my absence. However, I would like to express my thoughts on this plan.
I, personally, love every single Clan that is currently existing. And also have multiple characters in many Clans, like Amber. But, rather than just make certain Clans vanish completely, why not devise a plot that causes the Clans to merge into three, or whichever number is decided upon? This, in the end, will lead to us being able to retain our characters as well as open opportunities for other plots.
I have spoken. XP

I really like your idea Brambles, that makes a lot more sense, and it would be a lot easier. Howeverrr. I'm not sure if it's going to end up happening, we'll have to see how the next few days go. I just realized how difficult it would be to change everything from Ten to three. Not as easy as I originally had thought... haha. And now that you're back, there's one more person to fill the high spots, or at least the leader places.

I have at least one cat in..almost every Clan, I believe, so I'd be a little uneasy if they just randomly vanished. But I also support the idea, since the site has been less active. I really like that merging idea that's been proposed. I think that maybe since the Clans have been so on edge, something's separated into three sides. Kind of like the TigerClan/LionClan event in Darkest Hour. I honestly am not sure what to add since everyone else has already suggested good ideas. >.> [/blockquote]

i know im new, and my opinion is well weird, or whatever but if we merged wouldnt leaders fight over who will lead that clan or will there be two leaders? or three? or wutever...

Yeah, that would happen. Well I don't think I'm going to merge anymore, it seems as if there are more active members than I thought! Soo I think I'm reconsidering.

Well I'm definitely glad to hear that!!
I would miss the clans very much, because I love each one for how diverse and unique it is. And I like having a million and one different lands to choose from when considering a roleplay. :] hehe
Not to mention I am with Amb and Brambles and Ripped in that I have a few cats in almost every clan. Their differing clans and lifestyles are a part of them.. I don't know what I'd do if they merged!! I mean, I would adapt, but it would be... odd. I mean, picture a Meadowclan cat living alongside a Rageclan cat. Awkwardd. xD
Ten Clans Forevaa! <3 lulz
p.s. I will try and be more active, sorry for the activity lapse!! =o [/color][/blockquote]
