Dbzruler72 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Part of a clan's impression on the clan world are based off its website or forum. Is there anything in particular that you find attractive or unique about certain clans' websites? *-P.K.M-* Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmyk Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 A good collection of streaming videos and pictures is a must, in my opinion. General information about the clan and some contact information (e.g. IRC information) is useful too. Overall, something that looks pretty professional and well done; not something made by a 13 year old.

obfuscator Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't look at the site at all, I look at the forums. I prefer certain packages to others, but the appearance of the forums isn't a huge issue for me if I already like the clan.

decebal Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I usually am a sucker for things that look good, but are unneeded. I like it when you have shiny colours (yes, I do know I sound like I live in the mental ward), however not when you have tons of colours, or a load of kaleidoscopic images which will probably give you a seizure.

ash0zzy Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think forums are more important than the actual websites, but I know mori has an impressive website aswell as large forums War council of the moriquendi- fun warring/community clan 102+ to joinhttp://www.themoriquendi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forums are the part that will be used, for the most part. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 When a previous clan I helped lead closed a year ago, I basically had two choices: Dragonwood or The Moriquendi, both which I had a minor history with. However, I chose Mori because I enjoyed their forum layout more. I prefer clean, sleek forums that aren't busy. A level of literacy. A touch of creativity. Our former leader, Jebra, designed the skin all by herself; and while I'm not a fan dark layouts (I enjoy Gladz's layout more than my own clan's, for example) it was done well. I also like it when the newsbox also isn't crammed pack with junk like war alerts, win records, and blinking/flashing marquees. As for websites...we have one. I personally don't like it. Most websites for a runescape clan I don't like. Yes, even the most notable flash based websites. Impressive, but extraneous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I prefer a neat and professional look. I tend to not like "jpg-wrecked" webpages or ones that are full of flashing images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, when done properly those can look quite appealing. "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzock Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I don't look for clan sites at all :P I didn't look at corr's till at least a month after I had joined, and I've visted about twice since then for a total of 30 seconds. Forums are where the meat of a clan are, and I do think the skins used are important. I don't really care about what a website looks like, you could function perfectly well without one. look at di-rs.com: it used to say "not going to put a lot here, nobody would read it anyway" and then have some links to their forums and a java applet to join their irc. They managed to be the #1 clan in runescape for a few years with that site :P Proud Leader of the Corruption Clan. PM me to set up a fight or for any queries relating to my clan.

I can understand older clans having websites, for history and such, but there really isn't that much point overall.
