As a couple other people have been saying, I agree that some archiving of the old House clans would be good at this point. I'd also suggest a straight up minimum amount of time that the clan has been around on sc2sea (as in their first clan thread or something) before being able to apply/join as in in house clan. 3-6 months or so. I think this sort of straight up rule would help weed out alot of the clans who wont be sticking around.
NairX iv had 2 cases of bm, one small one medium. But nothing major. Those have been my only real reactions with them so I don't have too much to say on them.
eMp I think at this point are pretty well deserving. I had a couple small instances with them at first that left me with a slightly negative opinion of them. But over time, and after more interaction with some of their players, I think they are doing well and adding to the SEA community and my opinion of them has definitely gone up.
IXL:
IXL I've always had very mixed feelings on. Some of the players I really like. I practice with and talk with them, some a little some alot. Others though, well I can completely understand why IXL has a bad rep. I find alot of the problem is what Editor N Chimp (one of the IXL members I feel I have a good relationship with btw) said. That basically the more vocal people from IXL also happen to be the more BM members. This means that the majority of the communities interaction with IXL players isn't great.
I can see why the admins wouldn't be keen on adding IXL as an in house clan when most of the interactions that members of the sc2sea community have with IXL players is this dumb bs. In the last few months, there has been less and less of these occurrences and I think that they have been doing well at starting to loose that BM rep (but the reactions by some of the IXL guys to this topic is enough to show how fast that can change). But the other side with fixing the reputation is although the BM has been cutting down, the IXL positive players havn't really been growing in the community. As EditorNChimp said, the IXL guys are feeling less keen on posting because of past behaviors, but by not being as active in the community, its harder for people to get over their past impressions of IXL's bm.
I can definitely see why sc2sea might be hesitant about adding IXL to the in house clan. Though I feel sorry for all the guys who aren't to blame on IXL, and for Runamok (who might get on my nerves at time but in general I would say is a good leader and a positive person to have in the scene), that they are being brought down from a smaller group of their members behaviors. I hope more of the people in the clan who don't act in that way get more involved in the sc2sea community. Once they do my vote (if we had one) would definitely be for them to join as a house clan. But as is with the more vocal coming from this group of players causing issues. I can't say I'd support them getting it as is.

I called him out, he denied it, sure, don't believe me because mGG are the good guys, and we're the "omg incredible BM IXL guys". My brother and one of my best mates was in the room at the time of it happening, and I wasn't even given a chance to speak after he denied it, the blog was simply closed. That is what happens with this site, everyone remembers the few IXL guys that poked a bit of fun at some mGG players, but as soon as mGG does it, it's the IXL player making up a bunch of bullshit. The double standards are absolutely ******* ridiculous. If you're going to talk shit, expect to be called out, and at least admit to it. That's how it is, we shouldn't need to sugarcoat everything.
But it's fine. I don't want to be a house clan on this site anymore. It's a waste of time even being recognised when Nirvana isn't even a part of the community anymore. Rather than realizing which clans deserve deserve what, he's off playing around with his travel website....
I said it in your blog and I'll say it again here. When a friend of mine was asking me if your good (in the context of can you beat King Kong) I said no. I said you were shit. I said I was shit. I said every one at that LAN other (once again my self included) was shit but for 3 players (Forbz, NXZ and KingKong).
It wasn't me pointing you out and shit talking you. It was my answering a friend of mine that those 3 players I named where a ton ahead of everyone else at that LAN. I didn't deny saying any thing bad about you. I just denied that you think I'm pointing you out and shit talking you when I WAS SAYING EVERY ONE THERE WAS SHIT IN COMPARISON TO THOSE PLAYERS. Don't need to get your feelings so hurt cause I didn't say 'Malice is an amazing player and his totally gonna own KK.'
You need to get over it..... And the whole "I don't want to be a house clan on this site anymore." reminded me of what one of my younger brothers use to say every time he didn't get something he wanted. Just saying brought a smile to my face.
BTW if you want to talk to me some more about the Brisbane LAN some more feel free to add me on skype: Alistair.McDowall1 and we can talk about it some more there. This thread probs isn't the best place for it.
EDIT @MezJE: In January I wouldnt have called Malice infinitely better then me. He hadnt done any thing that impressed me as a player. And from what I had seen he was not at the level of those 3 players. Is that concept so hard to grasp?
EDIT @Malice: That was my opinion at the time. Forbz stood out to me. You at the time had never once stood out to me. When Forbz decided to actully try he played damn well. Hell both of his games were ridiculously close with King Kong (one of them came down to a single fungal, the other he had the supply lead for the majority of the game)..... your games with King Kong were your rushes getting crushed completely 1 sided.
I found Forbz a better player then you because he stood out alot more to me then you ever had. If you really cant get over this then you got some serious ego issues. If I had called Forbz shit, I can tell you now he wouldn't be holding onto it this long being this but hurt as you are. At the time you didnt impress me as a player. Get over it.
