Hey all,
I have caught reading up of the topics discussed since my last post and I think some people did miss my point a little bit however others pretty much hit the nail on the head.
I never once stated that we are here to "Replace" the duties of Jagex, however we really care about the game and want the community to thrive and develop we should offer a helping hand to Jagex.
This mentality is already out there in the community a good examples are our very own Pmods/Fmods/Twitter Support Volunteers/Fansite developers/ Community forum helpers and most likely a whole bunch of other people I am missing out.
This whole forum "Section" was created so we as clan leaders can have an input on what we think is the direction forward for clans but for many months now it seems like the only types of discussions and threads that are made here are about giving suggestions to what Jagex should be doing.
You all must be thinking well I am acting like its really easy and just talking out of my ass so to speak well just show you guys that I am as much serious about helping the community as I say. I had already collaborated with my other clan ranks and members and we have already done some further ground work into our own clan website URL below for those who want it. (Not forcing anyone to go onto it.
)
http://zealmania.tk
The idea was brought right before BXP and it was pretty much a few information pages where members direct people for our recruitment or for gains on Runeclan.
However over the last 2 days we have worked hard into creating other sections of the website which aim to resolve our problems. A Jagex Verfied Community Helper

For those of you who are unhappy with the progress that Jagex have made well all I can say is you have two options 1) Just sit around and do what you have always been doing and just let Jagex complete things at their own rate. or 2) Try and take some responsibility into your own hands and see if you can come up with cool new ways to do things.

Here are some more pictures of the interface and how it those with access to this feature can modify the names of the members.
But yeah I am sure you guys already got the point
.
The next biggest problem in my clan is that sometimes it's really hard to advertise events and gauge how well an particular event is going to go down and who really wants to participate. We tried to solve this problem by making a in built "Event Tracker" which I will explain a little about below.
The event tracker works by asking our clan members to make an account on the website so that their display name is shown. There are two major categories of accounts the first is a normal "Member" account, this account can sign up to any event listed and view the events. The second account is a "Admin" account, this account can create events and well join in events just like the "Member" accounts.
This is a screenshot of what the page looks like currently, I have also thrown in a GMT clock which sadly (only updates when I hit the refresh button) >.< but it's coming along.
Since my account is an "Admin" account I have the additional button on the right hand side which is the "Host Event Button", clicking it on my account will let me create the event, the event box can be seen below.
Once I have filled out the form in the correct manner the event is pinned onto the wall, we have made that events are sorted in order of time as always. The number (8) you see next to my name is how many times I have created events, this is to help us track who makes events and we will have ranking benefits to this.

Anyway so I know I still have a lot of work to do on making it look prettier and I just threw the new pages together in about 2 days so it's just the basic bones of the system. The rest of the information on the site I had my other ranks fill out, this gave the site more body and (yes we do have a gallery as well) which only allows me to upload pictures into it at this moment sadly (I will work to try and get something up there that allows ranks with permissions to do this.
But anyway so this was my DIY idea and hopefully it has inspired some of you to undertake your own DIY Idea's (I know mine was very software/coding heavy) this is just my strength and I was using it. You guys can always come up with something equally cool using your strengths and talents.
I could never achieve all of this in such a short period of time without the help of my lovely members at Zealmania so all of you should really talk things over with your own clan members and see if they have any idea's, communication really goes a long way
. The clan website will be heavily influenced by my clan members as you can see from the "Comps/Gallery Page" as I am allowing them to redesign the website in the way they want it, keep in mind the template and everything I have used are all placeholders and I did not pay attention to making it look "Pretty" I just wanted the basic functionality out.
I will continue to work on this throughout 2016 and keep making extra things in there to make everything bigger and better. Once everything is polished up I can think about distributing the features of my and/or helping others with their own little projects or driving further idea's into the CLF.
For now I wish all of you guys the best of luck in thinking about your future DIY projects and I would love to hear what 2016 holds for clans in terms of US using our own "Player Power"
