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

Status
Not open for further replies.
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 get you. It just seemed as everyone related you guys to Warhawk only.

I haven't played Warhawk since it first came out lol. I know what you mean though, there is a bluclan that are huge warhawk gamers. As you said yourself that your bluclan are big COD4 gamers. There is pretty much a blu-clan for every game. And every game usually has more then one blu-clan associated with it. Some for US, some for UK, some for other parts of Europe etc. Thats just how big Blu-clan got lol. And its not a bad thing lol. The intention was to spread as it has, so that we could be the best clan on every game. Different types of games need different types of gamers. Some people that are the top dogs of the clan in one game, may be the worlds worst in another. The gameing clan itself, was made for everyone of every type from anywhere in the world, not just for one game. And its working out amazingly so far. I'm sure it will only grow bigger too.

Would be cool if all of the blu-clan members got on MAG together lol.
 
Little LMAO! It grew so huge, that other people started making forums and stuff about Blu-Clan. .

Yes, mybluetech was little, so is this site (currently) and so is the blu-clan.com site ... so is any blu-clan site for that matter.

If that is not true, show me a site that has over 1,000 "active" members that claim to be blu-clan. Its all a matter of opinion as to what you percieve "little" to be ...

I consider anything less than 1000 on forums little. I guess in the realm of clans if a clan truly had 200+ active members then I guess it would be big.... for a clan.

as for being "THE FIRSTEST EVER BLU-CLAN PERIOD~!!!"

Lets be honest, I'm sure back when online-gaming first started some crips were called "The Blu-Clan" ;) So its pointless arguing that.

Those were the people who started your circle ... props to that. But its more props to those who keep it going as opposed to who starts it. Anyone can think of an idea but "do'ers" make it happen. I'm sure you were one of the initial "do'ers" in that circle so props to that as well.

Now we're all on one forum "doing" together ... so props to us all :scat: However, this is not a blu-clan site. But ofcourse all blu-clans from anywhere are more than welcome here amongst every other joe.

I never even met the guy or played with the guy named gunnter who started a thread for COD4 blu ... but when I seen it was a clusterF@#K of everyone trying to cordinate everything through one thread ... I made a site.

The thing I did to keep everyone's egos in check was I made it clear from the get go ... our clan had no leaders per se' ... there are diff clan leaders for diff games and those guys are the more active guys on those games. Everyone gets their shake.

In over a year only 2 people ever quit our clan and both came back.

Infact I dont think I have ever been the clan leader to an individual game per se' ... I just been the biggest damn "Wedding Planner" having to cordinate it all. :p
 
We've encountered other Blu on COD4 before too! we pwned them hard! :scat:

We are all here I think we should concentrate on making this place grow the more the merrier :)

You guys have been a great addition hopefully we can continue to grow.
 
Hm.. I really don't care who started what so long as the people involved aren't a bunch of meanie head poopy faces.


:scat:
 
Yes, mybluetech was little, so is this site (currently) and so is the blu-clan.com site ... so is any blu-clan site for that matter.

myblutech was a little site, I didn't say it wasn't. I am talking of Blu-Clan as a whole. And maybe every Blu-Clan forum has a small amount of members, but add it together, its pretty big. And not all Blu-Clan members are members of a forum.

I have never been a clan leader either, like I said, I don't really play games online.

When we first made the clan, there was not a blu-clan to be found. We searched the net too.

I'm not saying "Look at me, I'm one of the founders!" I'm just saying as I put a **** load of work into building the clan, as well as the other four, it would be nice to be remembered for it rather then forgotten and cast aside. I'm sure after the hard work you have done and are going to do, you would like to be remembered too, as you are entitled to it.
I'm not meaning to sound like a douche, its just appreciation is appreciated. Your appreciated for this site, by myself and I'm sure others too.

I'm sorry I sound like a d1ck, but when you spend day after day working your ass off to start a clan and forum for it, and then years later your forgotten about it, its annoying. I love the fact that others have built sites from it and started there own blu-clans.
I'm not trying to say "I own this, this is mine". I'm happy for everyone to join in and become a part of it, as that was intended from the beginning. But now everyone is oblivious to where it all started. And many people will say "well we don't really care, I'm just glad I am part of it." Thats fine, but I can guarantee that this site wouldn't be here today, if it wasn't started buy those 5 people, a few years back. And its exactly that say for you wreck. I can guarantee this site wouldn't be here, if you didn't decided to make this forum. See what I mean lol.
 
I appreciate you for being one of the founding fathers of the Blu-Clan


ya douche.


:cheers:
 
I can see why you feel passionate about the site, obviously if you put a lot of work and dedication to something you will feel it if they take it away. You guys seems to have created a nice community of folks. While I agree that there are plenty of blu out there, we have met up with all kinds of blu while playing COD4 before, I am sure that the site would of been created at some point. If you notice we all broke off from Br.com from one single thread, while we didn't even know there was another blu clan (you guys). If I am correct br.com didn't allow (myblutech) to recruit and Guntter created a thread (Comencing COD4 clan (Blu)) whether he knew about you guys or not that was his deal.

I sure respect peeps who take pride in their work, I am very glad you guys are here. I am sure your fellow peeps will remember and appreciate the hard work you put into your site and won't forget it. You can't really ask everyone else to do the same since we didn't really take part in this.

With that being said let's move on and concentrate on getting this place moving :)

SI SE PUEDE!!! lol :scat:
 
I'm sorry LDUK but i have no idea who you are. perhaps I wasn't around when you started your site and maybe it was a great place to be but that was that site and this is this one. you need to move on. This is what I like about the guys in the "blu-clan" I play with. none of them are looking for recognition. we're just here having fun and when someone is done with it they will move on. I really enjoy playing with the guys from what I consider to be my blu-clan because no one is uptight about anything. I love it so I ask you please do not come in here asking for respect for something that really doesn't matter. and you're right, it's not just playing games, it's a community. I hope I'm not coming off harsh because i don't mean to be. If someone broke away from this site and started another and everyone went there I doubt you would see wreck or horhay over there asking for recognition of some sort. good night everyone, I'm off to bed.

See like I said, you took it wrong. I'm not looking for recognition or respect. Just credit for the hard work that has clearly been over looked.You are saying what your saying and refusing to accept how blu-clan started, because you simply don't know who I am. If from the beginning I was always known as a founder of blu-clan, and it was always known that way, then you would have no problem with it. I'm sure you will have no problem with wreck taking credit for starting up this site? I'm sure your happy with the fact that wreck started up the site also, and you are aware that without him, this site would probably not exist. Another reason people like yourself refuse to see me a a founder, is because I seem to have nothing to do with blu-clan. I have done my best to explain how I have helped shape blu-clan, explained to people that although there seems to be multiple blu-clan's with different members, that was the intention, and they are, in fact, all the blu-clan. Its like a supermarket. Lets say 7/11. There is more then one 7/11 with different people that work in each one. But in all, they are the same company. If one of the guys that founded 7/11 came into one shop, on his own, just dressed casually and told one of the workers that he is who he is (a founder), I'm sure that they wouldn't believe him. This is the case now.

Trust me, this site woulda been here blu-clan or not. Because this is not a blu-clan site. It's a site about blu-ray. Just happens to have a good bit of blu-clan members of different blu-clans.

If it didnt have blu-clan members to help populate the forums I'd just pay for advertising ... one way or another this site could be where its at and wheres its going to go without any blu-clan.

Just saying.

Also, you need to understand, even if you were the FIRST EVER BLU-CLAN that doesnt mean that you have any claim to other blu-clans. Do you own blu-ray? If so, then you do. However, Blu-ray is what inspired our blu-clan, that is it. The original members of a clan called Blu-clan that I got in, had none of the blu-clan members of your clan or the warhawk clan ... so we were two/three entirely different blu-clans all repping the same thing individually.

Once again, I respect all that you did for your circle as im sure you respect what I've done. If this was a merging of blu-clans then by all means I could make an announcement of who you are (and the other 4 people on your list) just out of respect .... However, once more, this is a blu-ray site which happens to have a good deal of members who game and are parts of blu-clans. In the future there will be people here who dont even care about gaming.

Another word of note. I have the word "Founder" in my user title. It has nothing to do with any blu-clan(s). It just means I founded this site, a blu-ray site. This way if new people have questions abuot the site they know who to PM.
 
I say we just end this thread and say "Congrats to everyone related to Blu-ray and Blu-clan, we appreciate everything that you all have done."

:bow:

So, you made this site, because of a blu-clan related reason. Blu-ray.com or anyone to do with blu-ray can't say that they have any claim over blu-clan, as they are two different names.
Yes, the original blu-clan was inspired by Blu-Ray but you can't say that "your" blu-clan was made, not knowing there was already a blu-clan, or blu-clans out there. If the name Blu-Clan is used for a clan, it is and will be recognised as the same clan, in any game, even if the members are different, the same clan is being represented.
Let me put it in a way I'm sure you will understand. Hip-Hop. How many artists create this type of music? A lot right? Hip-Hop even have rivals inside the genre itself. But in all, Hip-Hop is one type of music, just like Blu-Clan is one clan. Now I'm sure you respect the artists themselves and even the the first people to ever create that genre!

I get what you're trying to get at, as I'm sure everyone else here does, but you're really starting to beat this issue to death, don't you think?
