Thanks for the support, Webkinz.

@Politoed89: First off, yes, Justin/Courtney had some major hints in that one episode. I'm not denying that. It was most definitey a bit of a relationship/one-sided attraction. But the fact of the matter is that it lasted only one episode. It has never been referenced since then. So it's extremely minor.

And when I say that fanon relationships is a category, I mean that they're relationships that are technically not canon/official, but have been hinted at and/or implied in the series. Again, that's pairings like Justin/Courtney. What I'm trying to say is that we need to establish a difference between fanon pairings and total out-of-the-blue-and-likely-to-never-happen crack pairings.

@Freehugs: Yes, I noticed clearly that there are more than one club for the same relationship. Those clubs need to be dealt with first, and merged into one. I have no argument with you there.

Now, as you mentioned how someone's favorite pairing in the universe of this show could be Duncan/LeShawna, the point is that it is still a crack pairing, and obviously not real. It doesn't matter how much they love it. It's like what you said in an earlier comment; crack pairings should be kept to the users who like them. I.e., they should be contained to their user page, not made into a club. And you have to forgive me; I was always terrible at math. But even then, 325 is stilla lot. If we let all fans create a fan club for whatever pairing they feel like creating one for, where would that lead? So it's not necessarily unbiased and unfair.

The point you keep bringing up is that we delete all of the "inactive" clubs. Technically speaking, all clubs are active. If they have at least a couple members, then they're technically active. It's not like a lot of clubs are having events or forums or things like that. So, in a sense, all clubs are "active" by your standard, which is that they have people who are part of them. So we really can't delete them based on "activity."

You can try to argue all you want that pairings like Duncan/LeShawna are worthy of getting their own page, but we know that, as far as this point in the series, that pairing and many others like it will probably never happen, so what's the point?

I never said that the only clubs that we need to focus on removing are those with fanon relationships. When I mentioned the 40 clubs that I found unnecessary, that was including the clubs for things besides fanon pairings, like the Animals, the Pole, and "Emily" (the flight attendant). I mean, seriously? But again, I didn't say just fanon pairing clubs.

I'm just thinking about what's best to clean up our Clubs Forum. And, if you could, could you please specify a way that we can deem a Club as "active?"
