Well, as I expected I didn't get in, but I was interested to see than nearly a third of [GSF] members thought I deserve to join, which was more than I expected. I'll probably try again a year from now, and see if things are any different then; probably not, but it's always worth a try.

Well, when I was looking through these forums, some things did become apparent. One feeling I got, from this (the Clan Business) forum especially, was that I was trying to jump onto a sinking ship, as many others jumped off it... just look at the ten most recent threads on this forum. Most are either about long-time veteran members leaving, or discussions over what's wrong with the clan, and how to make it better.

It seems, from reading the threads, that more and more people are becoming disillusioned with this clan as they reflect on how much it's changed since they joined, but few can agree on what specifically is worse with it, or what has to be changed; there's simply a general attitude of 'the clan isn't as good as it used to be'. Some say this is because there are too many members, and less initiates should be let in; others say there will soon be too few, and more new members are needed.

Reading this made me think twice about trying to join; if this clan's really as bad as so many of the people in it seem to think, what makes me think it'll be any different if I join? It could have got even worse by then, if that event ever happens of course. Maybe I shouldn't join, if so many are leaving... it's beginning to seem like a bad idea. Well, I didn't get in anyways, but I probably won't apply again if the attitude of [GSF] members to their clan remains so negative, despite what I said above.

In my opinion, the [GSF] clan was a good thing once, and although I've never been a member of it and have only been on the Gamespy Forums for a year, it always seemed to me like a close group of forum friends who enjoyed talking and gaming together, and that is probably how it should be. Instead, it seems to have turned into something else: a place to bitch, spam and make bizarre jokes, where more people pretend they're having fun than actually are. Of course, this is just how I see it...

Anyway, I thought giving the [GSF] clan their own forum was a good idea, but many seem to think this is where things went wrong. I don't know if they were right, but something certainly seems to be wrong... or was I just fooling myself about the clan all along? Has it always been like this?

OK, this post turned out a lot longer than expected, so I'll end here. Those who wish to reply to it should probably use one of the many threads on this topic already... indeed, I shouldn't have put it on the Approval Thread at all, and I apologise for that stupidity.

Nonetheless, it does seem to me like there's a problem here, although I'm not sure what it is; well, whatever it is, I suggest you guys find out what it is people dislike about the clan and try to change it, because like I said, the [GSF] clan is a good thing and I'd hate to see it wither and die. Or if I have overestimated how bad the situation is, maybe you just shouldn't complain about it so much...

this clan rules, just ignore the bitter nostalgic morons who refuse to accept that it has always been like this
