Why* are** all the** marginal** clans dying?*

[Nativo]

I think Dade is right in almost every aspect of his comment but my oppinion for why clans die is a little different. I believe that all communities (and clans are communities) rely on relationships and structure. Regardless of their hability ppl need something to share and identify with inside a clan, otherwise any clan would be ok. That feeling of belonging is what keeps you inside a group. It doesn´t matter if you play good, excellent or totally freaking awesome...you can play that way by yourself too...the things you share with your teammates are the bonds that keep a clan alive and the will to participate and belong is the key to a long existence.
In many cases this bonds are based on skill, I´m not saying that it´s not important, I´m just saying that u need more than skill to keep a community alive and it takes a lot of effort from all members of the community itself.
