PCT is probably the most successful event to date, but when talking about community events the only three realistic contenders are the aforementioned PCT, Red vs Blue, and although not an 'event' per se it spawned multiple excellent events; the RAW list.
 
PCT was great because it had pre defined rules that actually made sense and went off pretty much without a hitch, and had all the clans involved in it to some degree which made it feel like an authentic competition capable of deciding which clans were the best in all the various categories.
 
The Red Vs Blues have become progressively worse events since the first one years and years ago, but that still doesn't detract from that first event which really was a success for the pure community in the amount of hype it generated for all clans involved. The actual event, which was at that point the biggest fight in the pure community, was also alot of fun from what I remember.
 
The RAW list was good at the time and created multiple memorable full outs, its a shame that it became a complete mess towards the end. Regardless, the stuff that it did achieve means it was definitely an important 'event' in the history of the pure community.

It's great to see how far both clans have come from being two of the founding clans of the first LPC wave, well done guys and happy birthday

The RAW list worked from 06>08 because it had always been a backbone of the community and actually worked; the biggest fight in pure clanning history at that point was a 2 week prep RAW war between Fi/EOP for #1 F2P which went off with minimal problems, and was a MASSIVE event for the entire pure community. Coupled with a tonne of other successful full out RAW wars, it led to the authentication of the list as people saw it worked and thus their own clans participated in full outs.
 
Following this, after a few years of big fullouts that for the most part benefited both clans the winner and the loser, losing became more stigmatized by the community than it had been. Relationships between clan leaders soured in attempts to save face by not losing or whatever, so rules couldn't be determined or stuck to. Clans began to be more active in their attempts not to lose (at any cost).
 
The real cascade started when MM left the RAW list sometime in 08 because it was clear they would lose to a certain clan that had just declared on them. This led to the RAW list losing authenticity, and took even more blows as a few more clans left the list, following MM. I think at one point IR was #1 on it, which really goes to show how terribly wrong it was working and the community realised that. Full outs stopped, and the RAW list was disbanded.
 
It got revived in '10/'11 but even at that point it was clear it wouldn't work like it once did because the leaderships of clans had begun to change and wanted all the advantages in a fight and thus full outs became a source of drama. Once again top clans such as MM/CP disregarded the list and authenticity was lost.
 
Now, its 2015 and the pure community has clans who are led by people who weren't around to see how the RAW list COULD work to benefit their clans. Looking at the mentality of the prep topics posted on this forum, and even menial stuff such as the 10 vs 10 CWF tourney, its clear that ANY full outs, RAW list or none, are virtually impossible because theres always some sort of drama surrounding fights which means they can't be definitive winners or losers. The people involved in leading alot of the clans around today can't afford a loss because their clans are built the wrong way, so they'll do anything to avoid it. Losing something as monumental as a full out for these clans would be catastrophic hence, the lack of full outs for the last couple of years, and also why it'd be inactive which makes the entire thing redundant.
 
It'd be cool to see a functioning RAW list but unfortunately in this day and age a RAW list simply can't function. 

They don't hide the fact they're massers, as they've taken a completely different approach to their clan which from the looks of things is working well for them. Looks at Hon0r, that guys been having fun for years.
 
Either way, your stating the obvious and nothing positive is gonna come from this topic so i'll go ahead and close it.

With the two LPC waves pretty much completed successfully, the community has found the 'sweet' spot in the sense that no more mass clan openings has to be manufactured like we did twice with the two seperate LPC waves. Instead we have done enough and clans can now open organically open by themselves and find a competitive bracket to fit into. 
 
For the pure community to thrive history has proven that there is a need for a range of clans, from top tier clans ("HPC clans") all the way to low pulling and/or low leveled clans that make up the bottom tier clans. This allows newly opened clans to find themselves a spot, usually towards the very bottom of a hypothetical 'rankings' list which is the most common place for newly opened clans to begin getting fights and competition. Prior to the LPC waves there was no 'bottom tier' of clanning so new clans simply couldn't open. The LPC waves forcefully injected this bottom tier into the community, and now new clans can open of their own volition. Examples of this are AAO/Chaotic/Doom etc, who opened by themselves without the support of a 'wave' of competition opening with them, and are proving to have success. 
 
Anyway, to get to answering the questions in the original post; yeah I believe 2015 can be and probably will be somewhat of a rebirth for clanning. If you list all the pure clans right now we have
 
 
 
 
Thats 20+ clans, there hasn't been that many 'official' clans since '10 probably which is definitely a step in the right direction, and a pretty good indication we'll be entering a 'golden age' of clanning yet again.
 
To answer the topic title, do I believe any more pure clans will reopen? I think its inevitable we'll see a few clans from the past springing up, some of these suckas can't seem to stop themselves reopening their clans or whatever but either way its a good thing and now is the IDEAL time to open/reopen a clan.
 
Depending on the situation in the pure community in the next month or so i'd be interested in opening a new clan, its unlikely i'd ever reopen Epidemic or NME at this stage, so if I did return to playing RS It'd be to open the third clan in the trilogy that began with E and NME. I've already got a pretty solid plan laid out for it and have spoken to a tonne of old Epidemic/NME staff and members over the last few months, so if the final pieces of the jigsaw fit into place that'd be cool to have a combination of Epidemic+NME style with a few new faces in a new clan. But we'll see, Im in the enviable position of being able to  if I want to, which I might not, but either way I'm in no rush.
 
As for other clans I'd like to see reopen, MM would be cool to see how they'd fit into the current pure community

You really love to comment on other peoples lives haha, very strange. Probably making up for a lack of substance in your own private life, but I digress. 
 
Either way, as pretty much the entire topic points out, pretty pathetic on behalf of the perpetrators so I'll do 'Team Enormity' a favour and save them further embarrassment by closing this.

This topic isn't your best work, pretty rambling and incoherent. I know you can do better. I'll let you off this time because I like you but your next one must be better, otherwise 'Nick Hamilton' will suffer the same fate as 'Hassan'
