Your right. Clan isnt for everyone, nor do they want it to be. You dont need to be clan to hang out, no one here has anything against regulars. Servers are not free to run, you wont see a single server that doesnt cost money to be an admin. It gives people incentive to not abuse and lose their money.

When MY clan was running our server, I had to pay for my admin, and I was part of the CLAN owning it. I dont think you relize ibis makes its money off of admins and not ads, the servers cost money and takes alot of zeros time to maintain.

Just be content being a regular.

Ibis clan does not get free admin either, Its always fun when james runs in when he has not payed and I get to slap him around for a bit.
Its a community based effort, If you have ever been in one like Boyscouts you have to prove yourself there to to be a leader. You have to PAY for dues and PAY for training in BS and you dont get ANY money back, or time. Ibis is the same sort of deal.
