I have come and gone from here. Even though I have no plans to return here anytime soon, my place is elsewhere, among the developer team at Battletech Mod Productions.
I was afraid that this place may eventually suffer from the age-old syndrome that I has faced. Of course I can do nothing. However, it is not the first, nor do I doubt it will be the last. Almost a half dozen organizations, clans, groups that I have been a part of have suffered major rifts and eventually split. I would tell the tale, but I feel I am not ready to do so. Not now. I will list the organizations involved, that I remember. There were definatly others though.
1: Clan Wolf: A Mechwarrior 2 Clan
2: Federation Clan: Outpost 2 Clan
3: Clan Thunderwolves: Mechwarrior 4 Clan
4: Palestar: MMOG Corperation
5: OPU: Outpost Universe
In all these situations, however, the rift, unless solved, eventually ended up being the demise of these organizations. It occured in 1, 2, and 3. It almost occured in 4 and 5.
