I've been following this a bit. Here's my "official" two cents:
No, "old guys clubs" are NOT clans. A clan is something that has an OOC element to it. An "old guys club" running a realm might still be a problem, if they are excluding others. But they are not a clan by the definition I use. This is especially true for the "official" position on clans that basically says "it's not illegal to have friends or play with them, but please don't exclude others".
Did you just contradict yourself in the same post?
