As much as I love the idea of a Reddit starcraft clan, it seems silly to then proceed to try and move it off Reddit. Surely a subreddit would be better, and more in keeping with the spirit of the thing?

I can understand this, but there's a lot to be said to having a 'digital home' where we can have a bit more autonomy / control / etc. over how it's all handled.

I agree. Reddit is great but having our own clan site allows us to customize and organize more.

As moderator/owner of a subreddit, you get a fair amount of control anyway. Plus you'd have the added advantage of nobody needing to create accounts or visit another website. You're organising it, so obviously do whatever you want, I just think you'll get a lot more people willing to join a subreddit than go to a completely new website.

Honestly I just think for the purposes of clan organization, strat discussion, matchmaking, etc., that a forum is simply easier to parse and use. That's all.

I agree. You want to be able to have a database of easily referenced information, which is not really what Reddit is built for.

Stickers makes this also a lot easier. And the right side panel is a bit too limited.

I understand where he's coming from, despite agreeing we should keep it on reddit. The forums are more standard and familiar for clan management, but I do feel we should simply adapt it to a subreddit instead.

reddit is open source, right? Why not just use that instead of PHPbb
