hi all ^^ iam not an old member in cos but i like the time i had in this clan soo i want to see it get better in the few months that i spent in cos me and other members noticed that we keep losing active members so iam thinking each of us can fix this problem in his ways but if we team up on it we can end it in no time at all soo here is the idea every active member we have now can ask his friends or the friends of his friends to join cos i don't care lol
thats should get us more members in no time there is nothing better than new blood to bring the new age of cos :D so lets work on it together we can will reactivate cos. :help

Me and Ali have been talking about this i know this would seem drastic measure on how to rejuvinate the clan. I think we should start out with posting a thread for activy report and leave that up for maybe 2 days or 3 not sure yet. then of those who dont respond to the topic send them messages if they dont respond within in 2 days then we simply remove them. its the only way we can keep the clan alive we need to be trimmed down and rebuilt fromt the inside. i also think that the cps can help alot in this with the recruit stages. We need to push the recurits to stay active and keep up with the clan and help out as much as possible. I just want to try to make are ml look as good as it dose for ingame
we have alot of members but so many over 30 that are inactive. we just need to get more involved i think.

Actually we have been doing some mass recruiting, and our numbers have began to rebound. Its going to take time no matter what. We wont be huge and active overnight.

oopsy, i think its time i give a rough report on some staff matters to the general COS public. so that you guys know what we are doing. transparency is best in all governing bodies.



@ali and evil,

we, the staff, knew that there were minor issues getting some additional recruits to the clan and so we had a brainstorming session in the staffroom with 2 threads pertaining ideas on how best to get recruits.

tbh, i think we felt that we would ride over this rough time with relative ease. after the so called ''quit COS'' week last week with over 6-7 active members leaving, we have had a ''join COS'' week this time. this shows that our ideas, obtained via the brainstorming session in staffroom, were very effective. furthermore, COS has been around for 4years now. seriously, would you think COS will fall if 7 members leave? please man, more will come join this brotherhood.

anyway, ali's idea was pretty much discussed in the past and i think it will work. its people like you who really makes the clan more ''brotherhoody like'' :) everyone playing a small part in recruiting means easily 5 new recruits each week! considering how we have over 20 active members at the moment. [please do not tell me otherwise, i really hope theres 20 :)]



RECRUITS should read this :)


in addition, i used to monitor all new recruits on a weekly affair and report back in the staffroom so that noob recruits who do not participate in clan are removed. however, as all know, i am having a 3 week long exams at the moment so i will only do another recruit log in approximately 3weeks time.

i think this is ample time for all recruits to meet the basic clan requirements (which should not be too difficult since yer having fun). those who fail to do so, sadly, will be suspended.





on another note, i think COS has just entered a new age. with more recruits then ever before at a single time period, i think there will be fresh new atmosphere in clan now.

as usual, onward with COS :)

:D Im a "recruit" haha
just don't suspend me for being inactive mkay? not like i'm not spamming up the forums enough anyways.

anyways, :backtotopic

in my mind, there is a big difference between numbers and brotherhood.
I remember when i was in CoS 2+ years ago, it was a true brotherhood.
numbers weren't that important, we all had fun together and hung out.
maybe it's because i'm not on rs that much but it just doesn't feel as brotherly as it used to...
I remember hanging out with people in-game.. I'd be chopping magic trees and theyd just come stand with me and talk. not because they are working on wc, they just wanted to hang out.

idk.. i really miss that kind of brotherhood ^^ and i feel like that is built by time and chemistry, not a sudden influx of new recruits (i'm not saying new recruits are bad). I think we need to spent time trying to get quality members, not mass recruiting only to have 50% of them quit within a month and the rest be fairly inactive.

Idk i'm only a recruit myself so i really don't have much a say in this, i'm just poking my nose in stuff...

Everything in our power is being done evil. And we wouldnt think anything less of you if you'd help.

Also Incase you havent noticed, we are getting new people. They are becoming active and are making a new era for this clan, be glad for this and dont hang on to the past.

I love Ali's original idea. That is the type of idea that really builds a brotherhood and friendship. When we get people we know to join up it brings more to the clan than just a member, which is nice.

I can assure everyone of two other things. First, we have far more than 20 active members. Every month I compile all of the member on our ML and review the events they attended and remove, suspend and warn members as necessary. These logs are posted generally in the staff room, in the future I will be posting them in the announcment section because, as Dust said, transperancy is important. The only problem is that last month our events with so few events, I did not feel it would be the right thing to do to discipline members for that.

Second, the new group of members we are bringing in look great. For example Durahan, Icytouch and Fredkiller (and the others :D).

precisely my point. i think older members are just hanging too much on the past and not moving forward. its just acceptance and forward looking.


as for the newer recruits. wow, you guys go to irc! i didnt even go irc when i first came to COS. :(



as for now, recruit logs are still in the recruitment room and if need be, it may be made public so that people know whose active and not. [recruits only]


the next recruit log will be done by me latest by 28th november 2009. by then, the bulk of my exams will be over and i will start resuming 80% of my activity in runescape and forums. [i think this will really be ownage by clan standards :P]

so recruits, roughly 2 weeks to show your activity. no pressure :)
