I did the math and only 34 clans were founded in 2018 and 21 in 2019 (including VG), while a total of 85 clans were founded in 2020 alone. 2018-2019 really was a drought for clan foundings. Only 5 clans (Varangian Guard, Cella, Polish Eagles, Dortmunder Jungs, and The Henko Corporation) even competed in Clan Wars 9 from the Class of 2019.
How many people in the big clans have AFK members that they don't want to kick? I'd imagine quite a few. They don't have to worry about it though, because it doesn't impact CW participation, they have other players that are active. My clan doesn't have that ability. Clans should be able to have 60 members, I shouldn't be penalized in this way for making a clan a little later then others. I've already sent Fizzer a PM about this and he said he'll look into it, I sure hope he changes it.
