You can specify any interval you like...

Actually everything in the one year column on user/clan changed to lifetime would be handy.

How can we specify any interval we like?
We can request it, of course, but how can we get it to show our request?
Perhaps the admins have these abilities, but us common people do not.
Just change carnageblender.com/clans/stats.tcl?interval=1+year to carnageblender.com/clans/stats.tcl?interval=2+year to view standings for the last two years and so on...

Now, if only you could view your standings even though your clan has been disbanded....

If it has been disbanded, its probably not much to look at in the first place ;p

Clan Beer Garden recently got disbanded, we had been around for a good year and a half, and Zoglog was consistently one of the top CP earners. No record of that now! Gone into the mists of time....... ;)

One week of a combination of too much farming on one char and two members off on holiday at the same time....

What a shame! Must have been too much beer ;)

Meanwhile there are clans out set up by players who have been inactive for months, years even that still exist, simply because they gather no negative CPs.

Never too much beer KM.... ;)
Yes, I was very disappointed with seeing my yearly CP's obliterated even though I was in another clan within a matter of days.
To go from being within the top 20 to 0 points is quite hard to take.
When does the system check your clan points and delete you for being negative? Is this a Sunday morning check?

It's either when the hourly checks are done for bonus, or the daily cache flush.
If your clan is at -1000, it's an auto disband.

Weren't all clan standings wiped clean less than a year ago?

Yes, they were:

I don't think there should be a lifetime counter but I definitely think that the MVP's should stay for that period of time even if you leave a clan.
For a start it helps the clan owners see how worthwhile a candidate you are, I was lucky enough that I know the guys in Trigger Happy pretty well and that they are probably pretty sure I'm a very reliable clanner but this information will certainly be more helpful for those 'fringe players'.

The "leaving a clan" part is a database issue. I believe the way it was defined at the back-end makes a clan player integrally linked to a clan. When the clan goes, that "work" goes. Jonathan doesn't like orphan records.
Hey, you all know where I stand on clans. I think they're dumb. If you DON'T think they're dumb, then you should , in my opinion, only base clan "work" on the clan you are attached to. Clans are about integrity, loyalty, and longevity. Disbanding is a heartbreaker, yes. You might want to try to get the disband rules changed. But for anyone else, if you didn't do the "work" for one clan, one group, one ideal -- why get credit for it? If you want to simply see statistic related to clickey-poo, check the "Battles Fought" stats.
Anything else, and it sounds like "cake and eat it too territory"...folks want recognition for simply having a "C" in their name and clicking like crazy while flitting from clan to clan with the loyalty of a fickle mayfly. Boo fracking hoo.
I would be ALL on board with changing disband rules, because if a dedicated clanner (dedicated to a CLAN, not just to having a "C" by his/her name) is getting knocked off lists because a record in a parent database table got nicked under extenuating circumstance for a veteran clan -- well, that's not cool.
