Blu-Clan (finally, I can tell the story)

Something that makes me upset is, that a lot of people don't know who I am. I don't mean to sound selfish, or big headed or whatever. But maybe some of you , and thats a really small percentage, know who I am and will remember that I was the owner of the first "Blu-Clan" based forum site. That site, although small, in my eyes, was a really good site and went well as it was built with the members too. Everything was fine and everyone was happy but some people want more power right?

Now let me tell you the story, that I so badly tried to tell before, but couldn't because everytime I tried, my post was deleted.

It all started on blu-ray.com. A thread was made called "the cool thread". Can anyone remember that? How cool was that? We talked about what we wanted, everyone socialised and had a fun time. Then it was closed. Members were upset and complained. But not as much as I did. And this is what got me banned from that site. My user name was BluManta btw.

So me and 4 other pissed of people decided to build our own forum site. I already had a forum site and decided to change it. This became "BluClan.co.nr". We decided to let everyone talk about what they wanted. It was set out like a forum, so people can post in the right place. And the rules we're very slim. The members got involved with the site, helping build it up more and more and it became a great site where people could relax and express themselves.
After about a year, 3 of the 5 founders, and one of the wasn't me, decided to create a official site of everyone. And to keep "bluclan.co.nr" as the forum. I was happy with this decision and encouraged it.
Finally, the new site was finished. I came on "bluclan.co.nr" to see a post asking all the members o transfer to this new site. I was excited to check out what it was, only to find it was another forum. But this time it was only run by two people. I, as you can imagine, was pissed off and had a argument with them. But I decided to cool of and thought it could be a good thing.

A couple of months later I was asking when I was going to get the chance to be a moderator. There was no reply so I asked a few more times and the same thing happened. I then told them they were having power trips etc and another argument broke out, which resulted in me being banned.
Before I was banned they told me they didn't need a moderator and they were fine as they were.
As soon as I was banned, some members were made moderators. And that was the same day btw. And what was sad was that a lot of new members there didn't know the history of the old site and went on the administrators side. Obviously its not they're fault as they didn't know. But that frustrated me a lot and made me upset.
About 6 months later, or more, they decided to unban me and I spoke no more of the matter.
Now, it seems they have no time for the site any more and have left it. All the members have had to find a new forum site, thank god they found this one. But that really pissed me off. I mean really. I would have never left that forum if it was still in my control. And it would never have been so strict.

Well I'm glad I got that out lol. I hope a lot of you understand now and don't think I'm just some sort of prick lol.

And owners, admins and moderators of this site, please don't get power trips lol. And don't delete this post lmao. :D keep as you are, your doing fantastic.

I don't have a problem with this post as long as we don't have the next few posts bashing xxxx-xxxx.com you know what I am mean?

Is cool that you are expressing your mind and as I said before as long as peeps can keep it civilized then by all means post your opinions. If you have a question or concern let the admins or mods know.
 
i liked the first site, it was the first real forum i ever joined and looked at on a regular basis. Good times.
 
It wont be deleted, but it will be moved ... into the official "THE ZONE!"

new sub forum in off-topic.
 
Whoops, I didn't mean to come across as "site bashing" lol. It was just something that was really messed up and left a lot of people confused. So I finially told the story. Hell it was a good site lol.

It's ok you weren't really bashing just explaining the situation, I was just saying the following posters please refrain from site bashing.

Seems like you were passionate about the site and the time spent on it.
 
Sorry it went down like that buddy... i'm not going anywhere tho, I love our little group of peeps. :)
 
Well theres alot of diff blu-clans ... theres even more out there.

So I'd say those are your founders from what started yalls lil circle.
 
Little LMAO! It grew so huge, that other people started making forums and stuff about Blu-Clan. And because it was world wide, the time difference made it difficult for everyone to play together, therefore more blu-clans were created. Other people made the blu-clan for other online games and it just got bigger and bigger. It was originally started on Blu-Ray.com. No one else had made that clan. So weather or not the people in your clan are different from the people in another blu-clan, it started from one place, by 5 people a few years ago.


Whats funny is that, there was even a computer game being developed for the PC that was first titled Blu-Clan. Along with Blu-Clan is Blu Prductions and Myblutech, all copy written because of the game. And the soundtrack to the game had to be copy written too, under the name, bluclan soundtrack. The game was never finished though. But trailers were made for the game too, and the images and music were copy written too. Obviously we don't care that other people create clans named Blu-Clan, but it is annoying when no one knows, or possibly believes where it started.

Our bluclan was made by guntter on blu-ray.com since your clan had defected from blu-ray.com at the time (or that was the story.)

It was COD4, everyone knew you guys as the Warhawk Clan.
 
I don't really play online games much, but I know that COD4 was a game they always played. Especially the European Blu-Clan. And even though I was banned from blu-ray.com, I was still on it and so were the others. guntter has obviously seen blu-clan somewhere and decided to make his own version of it.
Its frustrating because if a movie was made, and then someone remade that movie, it would still be remembered as a remake. Obviously its a lot harder to explain the founding of a clan, but I am trying. Obviously you would disagree because you only know of it as guntter starting it. But the true is, it was already around. No matter how many bluclans there are, it all grew from the first bluclan. I bet guntter didn't say, "OMG, I just thought of a cool name for a clan, I can't believe no one else has thought of it before." I'm sure even you was aware of bluclan before guntter even mentioned it. A lot of people from blu-ray.com joined the original bluclan, or made they're own bluclan.

Overall, Blu-Clan is just one clan, split into many.
