    The fact of the matter is that a cohesive community environment isn't a one way street where clans site there and demand for the community site to give value to them. There has to be a fair exchange of value where clan leaders agree to work towards agreed goals of the community or the scene.

    The centralized community offers more than just a place to flame each other- it gives outsiders an insight into how active our community is, and in my plans

    We aim to demonstrate benefits of joining out scene to players who aren't already in the scene. Your proposal of eliminating a centralized portal is extremely dangerous as player experience of the pvp clan scene would then hinge on the first clan they join. Sharkbrew offer players a choice to choose.

    While we can't eliminate toxicity- lets face it the only reason why we use this forums is to see ingenious insults thrown at each other from opposing clans. It also gives clan members something to boast about and that certainly helps morale in the long run.

    If you want to see what happens when a centralized community disappears? Take a look at the decline of activity and eventual closure of Zybez and how the migration of main clans to their own twitter accounts probably increased the toxicity across the board as now... there is no place to call clans out for their bad behavior. Social disorder thrives when there is no accountability

    I just read this topic you linked here

    I would say that THIS is exactly the direction the community needs to stand behind

    It is a bit concerning there wasn't more engagement on that thread..

    this is why i've mentioned that Sharkbrew has the potential to take the Pure community to places above previous attempts

    The challenge here is getting people to rally behind the vision of what could be

    I have no interest in deleting or hiding your topic, it does what sharkbrew values most. Generates discussion. 
     

    Having said that, you have a very interesting video. I’ll agree with most things you’ve said, however let me give you a POV that’s tried to make change in the community for the better. It’s very hard to get community events up and going due to the fact of clans don’t want to support eachother. If eop is on the same side as foe then foe doesn’t wanna eop won’t come, etc. Its not as black and white as people think and it actually does create a divide. 
     

    another good example is our recent EU vs USA event. EU actually took it serious and the US got slaughtered. Until a certain level of respect/give a damn is reached we can’t even begin to hold eachother accountable. 

    I agree with you completely on the difficulty of getting clans together. I have experienced this, like you, when i organized the Red vs Blue some years back here on Sbrew. It takes lots of patience and listening and reasoning.


    The challenge for a "Pure Community" Site is and always will be finding enough value to GIVE clans - where clans actually want to participate and do so accordingly.

    @Fake Smilebrings an interesting point up about the RAW list, which has been absent for years.

    The previous community sites have for the most came up short (in my opinion) on establish enough value for clans - hence why they're dead.

    Sharkbrew and the original PureCommunity forums have been the best we've had

    Pure community forums, awards, tables and leagues are the reasons clans exist and compete. This include the flames and drama, which is why clans exist for the most part.

    If you take away the peer pressure - you would lose the competition and the reason behind it.

     

    People want to brag about their clans, wins and awards etc.  Otherwise, there would only be rev clans left that are after better loots.

     

    Love the insight you put into this post.
    I think this reasoning is a great starting point for a discussion
