When I say "official clubs" I am referring to the current groups, guilds and clubs in the forums, except listed on an official "clubs" page instead. I am picturing a "request to join" button, group leaders, and official listed members who automatically receive notifications for club updates.

I think this would be pretty cool.

I know there's been talk of eventually having guilds somewhere down the line. I'm not sure if that's still something planned or not, but I've wanted to see something like this for both guilds and clubs with the possibility of growing and doing stuff with each. With guilds it should be where you can only join one, but with clubs it's something where you could branch out more to work with other people. I'm not sure what all perks could be involved but I think it could be interesting.
