Cali 7

I can echo Game's sentiment. I am considered in the middle of what is considered old school and new gen. I have had the pleasure of being a part of/running active departments on web as well building multiple divisions on the clan side. KSI is a different animal in regards to the correlation between web and clan. Messaging apps did diminish the activity of forum users to an extent, it all depends on how the forums were utilized by the squads/divisions. In some cases Discord even started to overshadow some of the Xbox operations. Which was a tad counterproductive. Game's sentiment of the Golden Age being conditional is correct, the expectations I may have faced building in clan ops and participating in web are likely vastly different than yours. As Antonius said, he was in an era where his division was 1500 members. I built in an era were 600-700 was the norm for ideal splits. So each era's version of success is different. I do feel the forums and web is still vital for join apps and member reconciliations in KSI's case. Web recruitment is one of XS's strongest elements currently over the past year. In KSI's case...this is the most familiar way to touch base for previous members.
