The Skull Knight's Clan is closed!
It might not be permanent, but it is not likely that it would be opened again.
Therefore this website is OBSOLETE. It can only be used as an archive of a once strong clan. The Constitution is still here, it is a perfect set of rules that could be used in any clan. The videos are there as well for anyone to watch. The gallery is here as well. All of them can be accessed from the menu to the left.
To know why the clan was closed, look here. |

The Skull Knight's Clan is CLOSED. It was closed by Mark on 20th February. His point of view at the time is best revealed by his quotes:
"I'm sure you'd continually provide feedback on whether its been possible to merge or not so i know whether to begin taking down the forum." - Before closing the boards.
"if SKC stays people will take advantage and steal whats left of it." - After the closing.
"SKC has failed therefore it closes, it as simple as that." - His point of view, in short.
The clan was closed because of in-activity, even though it was in a middle of a merging process. The pretext was ESM's message in the clan's shoutbox, stating that SKC will probably merge with TEH and he will see the members of SKC there. Mark thought that it was a promotion of another clan and was informed that it was not officially merged. Therefore Mark closed the boards to let people decide what clan to join by themselves, despite the fact that if TEH would have agreed to merge, the members of SKC would have had some more permissions than normal users and that TEH was their only decision, judging from the polls. That led to users not being able to access the board therefore not being able to keep in touch with other members of the clan. Nothing helped to change Mark's decision and it seemed that Mark didn't believe SKC could get back on feet by itself.
The merge with TEH was unsuccessful though, they could not provide any more permissions. Any more discussion with them is useless as there is no way SKC members could contact each other, making SKC non-existant. Currently ex-members of SKC can join whatever clan they like.
The cause of all that was, of course, in-activity. Only a few people were left in the clan the last few weeks before closing it. The polls had only 6 votes, that means that there were max. 10 active people in the clan at the time. It might be that RuneScape updates caused many people to quit RuneScape or lose interest in clans as they made the Wilderness a non-PK area. It seems that Mark supported that version, but there would have been more members if the members of SKC recruited more often. Strangely, even huge prizes didn't help, and it led to the in-activity.
The closing of the clan might not be permanent though. But it seems so. If someone wish to have SKC revived, please contact Mark at mark {at} wizzonline {dot} co {dot} uk . |

Optimal event hosting times |
|

The Skull Knight's Clan members are mostly from Europe, although there are also some from North America and other countries.
That's why we have different event times. The optimal time for an event would be 18:00 (6 PM) GMT.
Although there are also a few other times that SKC members host events at: 21:00 (9 PM) GMT (the second most popular time, Asia), 15:00 (3 PM) GMT (at America).
But if you can come to the events at any time near 18:00 (6 PM) GMT, you won't miss too many events!
We had 2 polls on our boards, and here are their results:
The first one (made Oct 6 2006):
Question: "What's the optimal event time for you?"
Most votes: "18:00 - 21:00" (3 votes)
Second most votes: "21:00 - 00:00" (2 votes)
Third most votes: "03:00 - 06:00", "06:00 - 09:00", "09:00 - 12:00", "12:00 - 15:00" (1 vote)
The second poll (made Dec 17 2006):
Most votes: "2pm - 4pm", "6pm - 8pm", "8pm - 10pm" (3 votes)
Second most votes: "4pm - 6pm" (1 vote)
So if you can come at 18:00 (6 PM) GMT, 21:00 (9 PM) GMT or 15:00 (3 PM) GMT, you won't miss events!
Also, don't forget that you can host events yourself! But if you'll host an event at other times than those, you won't get too much people coming.
