Before I say anything else, I would like to thank everyone for making everything here possible.
Truthfully I see SeeD as one of Runescape's major "superpowers", and possibly one of the greatest clans of our cause. While I will agree that some of our members have become inactive, many more are active, and when I say that I mean it as truly active. Of all the clans of our size, at least from my perspective and from feedback, it seems that SeeD provides members with more of an "identity" in Runescape than others of more than 100 members. Our community has always been strong, and I see it in Runescape every time I sign on. We encountered many obstacles recently, though I believe that almost all of them have been tackled and I can easily see something propelling us into a new "age" (if you've read our history). Maybe not as the "Peacekeepers of Runescape", due to the fact that the game is so large, though we can become a major force in the advancement of our principles. Just keep doing what we're doing and I can see this naturally happening relatively soon.
At the same time, CurvedSpace has grown into a rather large community based on a variety of themes. Our gaming community is strong as well, and soon we will form an inter-game alliance of guilds. All I have to say is that some great things will be happening to CurvedSpace in the near future, and none of it will be possible without our current support.
You're probably wondering about what these "great things" will be, and that's what this thread is for. Read on if you're interested in our plan for the following months:
Beginning of November 2003: DarkStorm Online, our roleplay community, will be officially launched. Right now this is our largest priority (for it has been in the works for months), but when it is up it will be a great place to show off your roleplay skills or participate in an ongoing world of your imagination. If you are new, you can check out what we have currently in the DarkStorm Forum.
Shortly After DarkStorm Online Is Up: SeeD will have its Garden update online. This will be a fairly major update to our organization, dividing current Gardens into other larger groups. The current Gardens will exist, though as groups within Gardens (yep, "Garden" is going to have a new meaning, more like in Final Fantasy VIII). Currently we will divide the current Gardens into Balamb, Trabia, Galbadia, and some other Garden. Obviously they will be large, and will adopt the same definition as they once had two years ago when we were quite small (as "sub-clans", as 9 members in a Garden was considered a major group back in the days
). A new rank will also be added, the "Headmaster". They would basically be like commanders for an entire Garden. This will hopefully improve activity by urging more members to work together, as well as allowing more events to take place. Old Gardens will also be distributed throughout the new Gardens, so that when old members come back they will not be alone anymore. 
Decemberish, 2003: We will advance our gaming community by contacting guilds and clans in other games to be sponsored by CurvedSpace. While hopefully improving their traffic, in return we will be indirectly placing our roots in a number of different games. This will give members a place to go if they play a listed game, as well as allow for official events in a number of games that would not previously be possible.
February, 2004: We may begin to focus on EverQuest as well as Runescape around this time (no, we aren't spreading SeeD to EverQuest, hehe). This would be about the right time to get into EQ2, coming out a few months later, if we plan to receive another burst of search engine traffic. If we can establish connections in EverQuest, it could be very good for CurvedSpace. Don't worry, the community will remain the same (no "EverQuest Forum" or anything like that, maybe a MMORPG forum with sub forums, but if that is the case EQ will not be the only thing there).
April, 2004: By now you may expect CurvedSpace software to become available on the site. I am currently studying programming and will be creating usable programs eventually, and why not make them available to members? Games are the most likely programs to be available at first (I like being creative, hehe), but expect a variety of things as I experiment with concepts.
Ongoing Process: CurvedSpace and SeeD are currently in a process of expansion and everyone can expect more staff members. This will allow for improved support, quicker response to problems, more activity on the forums (and DarkStorm), and more stuff on the site. I'm beginning to make contacts with people I know, as well as asking for applications from current members to handle various aspects.
These are just our major plans, you can expect a lot more as time goes on.
... So how can you help SeeD and CurvedSpace? Easy! Enjoy our community, and it would be great if you can tell others about us. Also, don't be afraid if you would like to host an event in any game. You don't even need to have permission to host something, we will contact you if something isn't quite right. Just post in the Event/Contest Forum and promote it however you would like!
In conclusion, I see SeeD and CurvedSpace going in a great direction. Again, thank you very much for your support!
... Mods, thank you for maintaining the forums as actively as you are and have been!
... Leaders of SeeD, thanks for conducting the clan with great success over the past two years! There is no way that SeeD would be where it is today if it weren't for you.
... Thanks to all the staff members! There's no way that the site could be maintained without your support.
... And I would like to thank everyone else for being a part of our community, even through our many conflicts and difficulties.
And with that I'll be off, see ya'll again with another "future" thread next year!
