Di's closure
By Kyle on 18/10/2009
QUOTE |
||||
I do this not because I have to, I do this because I want to Like the title says, the majority of clans these days close because leaders or other officials simply do no longer have the time. In my case, this isnt the reason I've taken this decision. No I'm not one of those people who come out with those statements like, "I'm quitting RS to get a life", "I'm quitting RS because I want to focus on school". In truth the reason im quitting is because I want to. This decision is not one I take easily, I mean after five years of work its hard to just suddenly decide you want to call it a day on something. Ive considered this for many months. (About four to be exact). I know the first thing that many of you will think is, you're going to regret this. No, I truely am not going to regret this decision. Most of you might not understand, but to be a leader you need to commit yourself to the game and therefore you feel like you're tied to it. I don't want to feel tied to the game anymore. It's not something that interests me anymore. I guess if you were to try sum up why im quitting, I'd say, some of you may remember this quote: QUOTE So yea like I said ive been leader of DI for nearly 4 years now and alot of people ask why havent I quit by now, or how do I keep going after all that time. Well the answer is im not bored of it. I still enjoy it and if I didnt enjoy it I would of quit by now. Well yea. As for what I plan on doing in the future? Well probably nothing really, I don't plan on disappearing or anything, i mean I'll still come on the computer pretty often and I'll still be on IRC, however I most definitely won't be doing anything runescape related. I won't ever join another clan, nor will I ever re-open DI. I didn't actually even play anyway besides PK trips. Well that's enough about me. What about DI? Over the years this question has come up many times, as to who would lead DI if I was to quit or retire. Well the answer is no one unfortunately. Call me selfish, call me greedy, but this is the way it was meant to be. There was never going to be another leader after me and I think thats the way most ex/current old school members would prefer it to be. To all the current members of DI: I'm sorry I had to do it this way. It may not of been the best way or time to do it, but as I said, this decision was made months ago and there was never going to be a "right" time to do it. I didn't tell anyone on purpose, although I did alude to the fact this decision was coming sometime down the road, just not when. Right up until this post I acted like nothing was going to happen and to just do it on you might feel wrong and that I don't care about you. However, you need to look at it my way. If I didn't do this now, I'd of probably never did it. Once its done its done. I realise many of you will probably quit runescape but many of you will probably also join other clans, to those that do I wish you goodluck. I know in the last few weeks there was problems that I could of fixed, but in truth I ignored most of them because I knew this was coming. I may not of been the best leader but when I led I gave it 100% and always did my best for this clan. I'd like to think due to that fact all of you (even EX-DI) can respect this decision. You will all still remain members of DI and I will still keep our teamspeak up (as long as it continues to pay for it). I will also keep our IRC channels running for anyone who wants to use them. Like I said I'll still be around fairly often, maybe even on a daily basis for a bit, but maybe not after that. I'll also keep you all added so you can use my clan chat. What about DI forums: Well as long as they continue to pay for themselves, I'll still keep them up and running. I may even make some actual guest mods if the levels of activity are maintained. However, they pay for themselves, so if they die out then they won't pay for themselves. (On a slightly unrelated note, inb4themario, no I never got a single $ from the ad money nor will I ever do so, nor will anyone else). What else is there to say? I guess there isnt much else to say, I won't do shoutouts because like I said im not totally disappearing. I'll still be around quite often for anyone who wants to talk to me (although don't talk to me about the decision because I won't go back on it). Many of you thought this day would never come, but its finally here. Many of you will probably be happy to see that DI is closing, but in all honesty, I can say I really don't care what you think, because if I did I'd be bragging about DI's achievements and what not. At the end of the day its a just a game and we all move on at some stage. I hope everyone who was a member of DI over the past 5 years had a good time and enjoyed their time here. Although most of you won't admit it there truely was never another clan like DI. but now it's time to move on and let history by my judge. |

It was just a surprise, who cares. 100+ people looking for clans now, lets see which top 5 clan can get enough members to be #1. Or if they all go to RoT for p2p. lol

Doesn't phase me a great deal but they were one of the better clans in a bad crowd.
By Randy on 18/10/2009
Wow. Such a blow to the clan world. Rot #1 is going to be a problem for most small clans. Hopefully we get some "semi" honorable clans to step up..

Funny read. Sad to see DI go I guess.
By Jayson on 18/10/2009
DF and Rot should get abit from this, well idk, havnt been around in awhile but from when i last left RSC, those two would be the ideal clans to go to

I'm not sure that is a good idea.
There is a reason beyond that post of why that man is folding them up. Something had to be behind it. If it was truly boredom, he would of taken a long leave and came back fresh. He admits he is still playing the game.
I found reading that sorta sad.

Well he is actually quitting because he needs to get a life, that's the bottomline.

RIP DI, guess the idiots who flamed me HAD NOTHING LEFT (like SE)
List of Nothing Left:

DI
Waiting on RoT now.
By Stokenut on 18/10/2009
Even when I was DI he was making hints that the time for DI's closure was coming close. Although I didn't expect it as soon. It's a great shock.
I feel RoT will either die or become seriously weaker now. DI were their oxygen and without that, they have no fights. No contest.
and no, I wouldn't invite a member of DI here.

This was really surprising when I heard about this. It's always sad when a clan folds that's been around for awhile. I wish them the best of luck tbh..

.. give up RuneScape, close the best and one of the oldest clans in the game, piss off and sadden a lot of people, etc. etc.
Meh, they were a good clan. They'll be missed.

I didn't see it coming. I know there will be a gap after it's closure but I'm sure another clan will take DI's place soon

RSD is, I think. Not like a whole helluva lot of people care on RSC, but meh.

I am curious to see which clan becomes a powerhouse from this.
I would have rathered to see DF close than DI, but whatever.

This.
I wouldn't be surprised to see RSD get some members out of this if they go out into p2p more often. Maybe some of the FAs will go to RoT, but beyond that, I don't know of any other p2p clans that DI members might consider... The most dedicated might not even join another clan. I'm just speculating.
By Back to Own on 18/10/2009
Rots going to close for the school year I'm guessing.
Does matter if some DI go to RoT or not, theres no competition for them.
The clan world is messed more then ever anyway.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUU-
They had a great run. It strikes me as a bit of a surprise however, I don't care much.
He decided to quit because he no longer had the will to lead DI and that's pretty much all to it. I'm pretty sure lots of people will miss them and I definitely expect RoT to slump from this. Considering they lost their only challenge unless RSD steps up.

He admits he is still playing the game. |

He said he only played the game for PK trips.
No DI = No PK trips = No game.
